O God my God, wherfore doest thou, forsake me vtterly: * 1.1 And helpest not when I doo make, my greate complaynte and cry. [verse 2] To thee my God euen all day longe, I doo bothe crye and call? I cease not all the night and yet, thou hearest not at all.
[verse 3] Euen thou that in thy sanctuary, and holy place dost dwell: Thou art the comfort and the ioye, and glory of Israell, [verse 4] And he in whom our fathers olde, had all theyr hope for euer: And when they put their trust in thee, So diddest thou them deliuer.
[verse 5] They were delyuered for euer, when they called on thy name: And for the fayth they had in thee, they were not put to shame. [verse 6] But I am nowe become a worme, more like then any man: And outcast whom the people scorne, with all the spite they can.
[verse 7] And me despise as they beholde, me walking on the waye: They gren, they mowe, they nod theyr heads, and in this wyse they faye. [verse 8]

8 Thys man did glory in the Lorde, his fauore and his loue: Let him redeme and helpe hym nowe, his power if he will proue.
[verse 9] But Lorde out of my mothers wombe I came by thy request: Thou didst preserue me styll in hope, while I did sucke her brest. [verse 10] I was committed from my birth, with thee to haue abod: Since I was in my mothers wombe thou hast ben euer my God.
