Why are you so far away from helping me, so far away from the words of my groaning? | 1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? | 1 {To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.} My �God, my �God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning? | 2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. | 2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. | 2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer- also at night, but I find no rest. | 2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer; in the night season, and am not silent. | 2 My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me: | 3 Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. | 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. | 3 Yet, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. | 3 But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel. | 3 And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel. | 4 In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them. | 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. | 4 Our ancestors trusted you. They trusted, and you rescued them. | 4 Our fathers trusted in you.
