My God, my God, O why have You Forsaken me? O why Are You so far from giving help And from my groaning cry? By day and night, my God, I call Your answer still delays And yet You are the Holy One Who dwells in Israel's praise Our fathers put their trust in You From you their rescue came They begged You and You set them free They were not put to shame But as for me, I am a worm And not a man at all To men I am despised and base Their scornings on me fall Let those that fear the Lord sing praise! Give glory to Him now All Jacob's seed; all Israel's seed In awe before Him bow
