1For the Chief Musician; set to "The Doe of the Morning." A Psalm by David. 2My God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; 3But you are holy, 4Our fathers trusted in you. 5They cried to you, and were delivered. 6But I am a worm, and no man; 7All those who see me mock me. 8"He trusts in the LORD; 9But you brought me out of the womb. 10I was thrown on you from my mother's womb. 11Do not be far from me, for trouble is near. 12Many bulls have surrounded me. 13They open their mouths wide against me, 14I am poured out like water. 15My strength is dried up like a potsherd. 16For dogs have surrounded me. 17I can count all of my bones. 18They divide my garments among them. 19But do not be far off, LORD. 20Deliver my soul from the sword, 21Save me from the lion's mouth! 22I will declare your name to my brothers. 23You who fear the LORD, praise him! 24For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, 25Of you comes my praise in the great assembly. 26The humble shall eat and be satisfied. 27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. 28For the kingdom is the LORD's. 29All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. 30Posterity shall serve him. 31They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,
