For the music director; according to the tune “Morning Doe;” 2 a psalm of David.
22:1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? 3
I groan in prayer, but help seems far away. 4
22:2 My God, I cry out during the day,
but you do not answer,
and during the night my prayers do not let up. 5
14:9 Why should you be like someone who is helpless, 6
like a champion 7 who cannot save anyone?
You are indeed with us, 8
and we belong to you. 9
Do not abandon us!”
3:8 Also, when I cry out desperately 10 for help, 11
he has shut out my prayer. 12
