O Lord, why do you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me?
Why do you hide your face and count me as your enemy?
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
Why do you hide your face? Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?
For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
“Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?” Selah
Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in distress; make haste to answer me.
But you have rejected us and disgraced us and have not gone out with our armies.
