Lord, why castest thou off my soul? Why hidest thou thy face from me?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me?
For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.
For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabach´thani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
