A Cry to God from one in grievous distress, -as from Christ on the Cross.

pp. MỸ | God, my God, look upon me; why hast thou försá-ken-me: And art so far * from my health, and from the words of my complaint?

[* from saving me.]

2 Ō my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearëst nót : And in the night-season also I täke nó rèst.

3 cr. And Thōu continuëst hóly: Ō thou Worship öf Îs-rael.

5 They called upon thee, and were hól.pen: They put their trust in thee, and were not cönfounded.

6 pp. But as for me, I am a worm, and nó man: A very scorn of men, and the out-cast of the people.

7 All they that see me. laugh me to scorn; They shoot out their lips änd shake-theirheads; (H)

8 Saying, 'He trusted in God, that he would deliverhim: Let him deliver him, if he will have him.' (H)

7 All they that see me laugh me to scórn: They shoot out their lips, and shake their hėåds, sâying,

[* enemies.]

13 They gape upon me with their mouths: As it were a ramping and a roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out öf joint: My heart-also in the midst of my body is even like mélt-ing-wax.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to mÿ gúms: And thou shalt bring me into the dust öf death -.

16 For many * dogs are come about me: And the council of the wicked layeth siege ägainst me.

[* mean persecutors.]

17 They pierced my hands and my feet; I may tell all mỹ bónes: They stand staring and looking üpôn me.

18 They part my garments among them: And cast lots upõn mỹ vêsture.

19 But be not thou far from me, Ö Lord : Thou art my succour, haste thee tö hêlp me.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword: My *darling from the power of the dôg -.
