My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,(A)
    by night,(B) but I find no rest.[a]

Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;(C)
    you are the one Israel praises.[b](D)
In you our ancestors put their trust;
    they trusted and you delivered them.(E)
To you they cried out(F) and were saved;
    in you they trusted(G) and were not put to shame.(H)

But I am a worm(I) and not a man,
    scorned by everyone,(J) despised(K) by the people.
All who see me mock me;(L)
    they hurl insults,(M) shaking their heads.(N)
“He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
    “let the Lord rescue him.(O)
Let him deliver him,(P)
    since he delights(Q) in him.”

Yet you brought me out of the womb;(R)
    you made me trust(S) in you, even at my mother’s breast.

  1. Psalm 22:2 Or night, and am not silent
  2. Psalm 22:3 Or Yet you are holy, / enthroned on the praises of Israel

O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

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

They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.

All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,

He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

O 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 (A)praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
They cried to You, and were delivered;
(B)They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

But I am (C)a worm, and no man;
(D)A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
(E)All those who see Me ridicule Me;
They [a]shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
“He(F) [b]trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
(G)Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

(H)But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
