Psalm 22:2-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

I

2 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
    Why so far from my call for help,
    from my cries of anguish?(A)
3 My God, I call by day, but you do not answer;
    by night, but I have no relief.(B)
4 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
    you are the glory of Israel.(C)
5 In you our fathers trusted;
    they trusted and you rescued them.
6 To you they cried out and they escaped;
    in you they trusted and were not disappointed.(D)
7 [a]But I am a worm, not a man,
    scorned by men, despised by the people.(E)
8 All who see me mock me;
    they curl their lips and jeer;
    they shake their heads at me:(F)
9 “He relied on the Lord—let him deliver him;
    if he loves him, let him rescue him.”(G)
10 For you drew me forth from the womb,
    made me safe at my mother’s breasts.
11 Upon you I was thrust from the womb;
    since my mother bore me you are my God.(H)
12 Do not stay far from me,
    for trouble is near,
    and there is no one to help.(I)

Footnotes

  1. 22:7 I am a worm, not a man: the psalmist’s sense of isolation and dehumanization, an important motif of Ps 22, is vividly portrayed here.
