My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
Be not far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is none to help.
I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint;
my heart is like wax;
it is melted within my breast.
You, O Lord, do not be far off!
O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
Amen.
(From Psalm 22)
