PSALM 22: 1-11

1.  My God, my God, look upon me; why hast thou forsaken me : and art so far from my health, and from the words of my complaint?

2.  O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not : and in the night-season also I take no rest.

3.  And thou continuest holy : O thou worship of Israel.

4.  Our fathers hoped in thee : they trusted in thee, and thou didst deliver them.

5.  They called upon thee, and were holpen : they put their trust in thee, and were not confounded.

6.  But as for me, I am a worm, and no man : a very scorn of men, and the outcast of the people.

7.  All they that see me laugh me to scorn : they shoot our their lips, and shake their heads, saying,

8.  He trusted in God, that he would deliver him : let him deliver him, if he will have him.

9.  But thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb : thou wast my hope, when I hanged yet upon my mother's breasts.

10.  I have been left unto thee ever since I was born : thou art my God, even from my mother's womb.

11.  O go not from me, for trouble is hard at hand : and there is none to help me.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
