Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?

Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:

Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
