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?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
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?
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
And hide not thy face from thy servant; For I am in trouble: Hear me speedily.
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.
