Psalm 22

My God, My God why have You abandoned me?

Far from my deliverance are the words of my cry

I cry by day but You don't answer me, I cry by night but have no rest

My God, My God, where are you now, where are you now?

Be not far away for trouble is near me

Be not far away for there is none to help

They circle around to devour me, they ready themselves for the kill

My heart is weak and my strength is gone, my strength is gone

But You, O Lord, be not far off

O You my help hasten to my aid

Deliver my life from the lion's mouth, rescue my soul from the sword

From the horns of the wild beast answer me

My God, My God why have You abandoned me?

Far from my deliverance are the words of my cry

I cry by day but You don't answer me, I cry by night but have no rest

My God, My God, where are you now, where are you now, where are you now?
