O LORD,whydo You rejectmy soul?[Why] do You hideYour facefrom me?
"Whydo You hideYour faceAnd considerme Your enemy?
Howlong,O LORD?Will You forgetme forever?Howlongwill You hideYour facefrom me?
For You are the Godof my strength;whyhave You rejectedme? Whydo I gomourningbecause of the oppressionof the enemy?
Whydo You hideYour face[And] forgetour afflictionand our oppression?
YetYou have rejected[us] and broughtus to dishonor,And do not goout with our armies.
For You are not a Godwho takespleasurein wickedness;Noevildwellswith You.
And do not hideYour facefrom Your servant,For I am in distress;answerme quickly.
Aboutthe ninthhourJesuscriedout with a loudvoice,saying,"ELI,ELI,LAMASABACHTHANI?"that is, "MY GOD,MY GOD,WHYHAVE YOU FORSAKENME?"
