Lyrics
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me
And from the words of my groaning?
Oh, my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not hear
And in the night season and am not silent
But you are holy
Enthroned in the praises of Israel
Our fathers trusted in you
They trusted and you delivered them
They cried to you and were delivered
They trusted in you and were not ashamed
But I am a worm and no man
A reproach of men and despised by the people
All those who see me laugh me to scoff
They shoot out the lip they shake the head, saying
"He trusted in the Lord, let him rescue him"
"Let him deliver him, since he delights in him"
But you are he who took me out of the womb
You made me trust when I was on my mother's breasts
I was cast upon you from birth
From my mother's womb
You have been my God
Be not far from me
For trouble is near
And there is none to help
Many bulls have surrounded me
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me
They gape at me with their mouths
As a raging of a roaring lion
I am poured out like water
And all my bones are out of joint
My heart is like wax
It's melted within me
My strength is dried up like a potsherd
And my tongue clings to my jaws
You have brought me to the dust of death
Eloi, Eloi! Lama sabachthani?
Eloi, Eloi! Lama sabachthani?
Eloi, Eloi! Lama sabachthani?
Eloi, Eloi!
Eloi, Eloi! Lama sabachthani?
Eloi, Eloi! Lama sabachthani?
Eloi, Eloi!
Eloi! Lama sabachthani?
The dogs have surrounded me
The assembly of the wicked has enclosed me
They pierced my hands and my feet
I can count all my bones
They look and stare at me
They divide my garments among them
And for my clothing they cast lots
But you, oh, Lord, do not be far from me
Oh, my strength, hasten to help me
Deliver me from the sword
My precious life from the power of the dog
Save me from the lion's mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen
You have answered me
