The Psalm of the Cross

(Matthew 27:32-56; Mark 15:21-41; Luke 23:26-43; John 19:16-30)
1
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?(a) Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
2
I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
3
Yet You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4
In You our fathers trusted; they trusted and You delivered them.
5
They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
6
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
7
All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
8
“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”(b)
9
Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
10
From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
11
Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
12
Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13
They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
14
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.
15
My strength (c) is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
16
For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.(d)
17
I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.
18
They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.(e)
19
But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
20
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
21
Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
22
I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly.(f)
23
You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
24
For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
25
My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
26
The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
27
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
28
For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
29
All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him— even those unable to preserve their lives.
30
Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
31
They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn— all that He has done.

The Psalm of the Cross

(Matthew 27:32-56; Mark 15:21-41; Luke 23:26-43; John 19:16-30)
1
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
2
My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.
3
But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
4
Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
5
They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
6
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7
All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
8
“He trusts in the LORD. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”
9
But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
10
I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
11
Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
12
Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13
They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.
14
I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.
15
My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
16
For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.(a)
17
I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18
They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
19
But don’t be far off, LORD. You are my help. Hurry to help me!
20
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
21
Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22
I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.
23
You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
24
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
25
My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26
The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28
For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
29
All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship. All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
30
Posterity shall serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
31
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.
