Study the Bible in Basic English : Psalm for the day #22

Psalms 22 1. <To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David.> My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying? 2. O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest. 3. But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel. 4. Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour. 5. They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame. ; AB Lausanne church
