International Children’s Bible

The Prayer of a Suffering Man

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of Dawn.” A song of David.

22 My God, my God, why have you left me alone?
    You are too far away to save me.
    You are too far away to hear my moans.
2 My God, I call to you during the day.
    But you do not answer.
And I call at night.
    I am not silent.

3 You sit as the Holy One.
    The praises of Israel are your throne.
