1 Al Músico principal, sobre Ajeleth-sahar Salmo de David. DIOS mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has dejado? ¿Por qué estás lejos de mi salud, y de las palabras de mi clamor?

2 Dios mío, clamo de día, y no oyes; Y de noche, y no hay para mí silencio.

3 Tú empero eres santo, Tú que habitas entre las alabanzas de Israel.

4 En ti esperaron nuestros padres: Esperaron, y tú los libraste.

5 Clamaron á ti, y fueron librados: Esperaron en ti, y no se avergonzaron.

6 Mas yo soy gusano, y no hombre; Oprobio de los hombres, y desecho del pueblo.

7 Todos los que me ven, escarnecen de mí; Estiran los labios, menean la cabeza, diciendo:

8 Remítese á Jehová, líbrelo; Sálvele, puesto que en él se complacía.

9 Empero tú eres el que me sacó del vientre, El que me haces esperar desde que estaba á los pechos de mi madre.

10 Sobre ti fuí echado desde la matriz: Desde el vientre de mi madre, tú eres mi Dios.

11 No te alejes de mí, porque la angustia está cerca; Porque no hay quien ayude.

12 Hanme rodeado muchos toros; Fuertes toros de Basán me han cercado.

13 Abrieron sobre mí su boca, Como león rapante y rugiente.

14 Heme escurrido como aguas, Y todos mis huesos se descoyuntaron: Mi corazón fué como cera, Desliéndose en medio de mis entrañas.

15 Secóse como un tiesto mi vigor, Y mi lengua se pegó á mi paladar; Y me has puesto en el polvo de la muerte.

16 Porque perros me han rodeado, Hame cercado cuadrilla de malignos: Horadaron mis manos y mis pies.

17 Contar puedo todos mis huesos; Ellos miran, considéranme.

18 Partieron entre sí mis vestidos, Y sobre mi ropa echaron suertes.

19 Mas tú, Jehová, no te alejes; Fortaleza mía, apresúrate para mi ayuda.

20 Libra de la espada mi alma; Del poder del perro mi única.

21 Sálvame de la boca del león, Y óyeme librándome de los cuernos de los unicornios.

22 Anunciaré tu nombre á mis hermanos: En medio de la congregación te alabaré.

23 Los que teméis á Jehová, alabadle; Glorificadle, simiente toda de Jacob; Y temed de él, vosotros, simiente toda de Israel.

24 Porque no menospreció ni abominó la aflicción del pobre, Ni de él escondió su rostro; Sino que cuando clamó á él, oyóle.

25 De ti será mi alabanza en la grande congregación; Mis votos pagaré delante de los que le temen.

26 Comerán los pobres, y serán saciados: Alabarán á Jehová los que le buscan: Vivirá vuestro corazón para siempre.

27 Acordarse han, y volveránse á Jehová todos los términos de la tierra; Y se humillarán delante de ti todas las familias de las gentes.

28 Porque de Jehová es el reino; Y él se enseñoreará de las gentes.

29 Comerán y adorarán todos los poderosos de la tierra: Postraránse delante de él todos los que descienden al polvo, Si bien ninguno puede conservar la vida á su propia alma.

30 La posteridad le servirá; Será ella contada por una generación de Jehová.

31 Vendrán, y anunciarán al pueblo que naciere, Su justicia que él hizo.

1 To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David.

2 \22:1\My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?

3 \22:2\O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.

4 \22:3\But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.

5 \22:4\Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.

6 \22:5\They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.

7 \22:6\But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.

8 \22:7\I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,

9 \22:8\He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.

10 \22:9\But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.

11 \22:10\I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.

12 \22:11\Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.

13 \22:12\A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.

14 \22:13\I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.

15 \22:14\I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.

16 \22:15\My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.

17 \22:16\Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.

18 \22:17\I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

19 \22:18\They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.

20 \22:19\Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.

21 \22:20\Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.

22 \22:21\Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

23 \22:22\I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

24 \22:23\You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

25 \22:24\For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

26 \22:25\My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

27 \22:26\The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

28 \22:27\All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

29 \22:28\For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.

30 \22:29\All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

31 \22:30\A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

32 \22:31\They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.
