| 1 To the Overseer, on 'The Hind of the Morning.' A Psalm of David. |
|
| My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring |
|
| 2 My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me. |
|
| 3 And Thou [art] holy, Sitting the Praise of Israel. |
|
| 4 In Thee did our fathers trust they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them. |
|
| 5 Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed. |
|
| 6 And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people. |
|
| 7 All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip shake the head, |
|
| 8 'Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.' |
|
| 9 For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother. |
|
| 10 On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God. |
Thou art my God from my mother's belly. – This is a statement prophetically made by Jesus. Can there be any doubt that the child within the mother's womb is a living soul? If it is not, how then is it possible for anyone to say that Jehovah is their God "from my mother's belly?" |
| 11 Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper. |
|
| 12 Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me, |
|
| 13 They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring. |
|
| 14 As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels. |
|
| 15 Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws. |
|
| 16 And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet. |
|
| 17 I count all my bones they look expectingly, They look upon me, |
|
| 18 They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall. |
|
| 19 And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste. |
|
| 20 Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one. |
|
| 21 Save me from the mouth of a lion: And from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me! |
|
| 22 I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee. |
|
| 23 Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel. |
|
| 24 For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth. |
|
| 25 Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers. |
|
| 26 The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever. |
|
| 27 Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations, |
|
| 28 For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations. |
|
| 29 And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he [who] hath not revived his soul. |
|
| 30 A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation. |
|
| 31 They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made! |
