KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 22 of 150

1 To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, from the words of My groaning?

2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; and in the night, and there is no silence to Me.

3 But You are holy, abiding on Israel's praises.
