My God, My God, Why Have You Abandoned Me?

Psalm 22: 8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24) 



R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? 



All who see me scoff at me; 

     they mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads: 

“He relied on the LORD; let him deliver him, 

    let him rescue him, if he loves him.” 



R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? 



Indeed, many dogs surround me, 

     a pack of evildoers closes in upon me; 

They have pierced my hands and my feet; 

     I can count all my bones. 



R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? 



They divide my garments among them, 

     and for my vesture they cast lots. 

But you, O LORD, be not far from me; 

     O my help, hasten to aid me. 



R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? 



I will proclaim your name to my brethren; 

     in the midst of the assembly I will praise you: 

“You who fear the LORD, praise him; 

     all you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him; 

     revere him, all you descendants of Israel!” 



R. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
