My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?
My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer;
by night, but I find no rest.
YET you are the holy one;
enthroned on the praises of your people.
Our forebears trusted in you;they trusted and you delivered them.
They cried out to you and were saved;
put their trust in you and were not confounded…
