Psalm 22:1-5

Common English Bible

Psalm 22

For the music leader. According to the “Doe of Dawn.” A psalm of David.

22 My God! My God,
    why have you left me all alone?
    Why are you so far from saving me—
        so far from my anguished groans?
²My God, I cry out during the day,
    but you don’t answer;
    even at nighttime I don’t stop.
³You are the holy one, enthroned.
You are Israel’s praise.
⁴Our ancestors trusted you—
    they trusted you and you rescued them;
⁵    they cried out to you and they were saved;
    they trusted you and they weren’t ashamed.

²⁴Because he didn’t despise or detest
    the suffering of the one who suffered—
    he didn’t hide his face from me.
    No, he listened when I cried out to him for help.

²⁵I offer praise in the great congregation
    because of you;
    I will fulfill my promises
    in the presence of those who honor God.
