1My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me?
2My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night,
3But you are holy.
4Our ancestors trusted in you.
5When they cried out to you, you saved them.
6But you have not rescued me
7Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me.
8“He trusts in Yahweh,
9Why do you not protect me now as you did when I was born?
10It was as though you adopted me right when I was born.
11So, ◄do not stay far from/stay close to► [LIT] me now
12My enemies surround me like a herd/group of wild bulls.
13They are like roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] and eat;
14I am completely exhausted [MET],
15My strength is all dried up [MET]
16My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs.
17I am so weak and thin that my bones can be seen and counted.
18They looked at the clothes that I was wearing
19O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me!
20Rescue me from those who want to kill me with their swords.
21Snatch me away from my enemies who are like lions whose jaws are already open, ready to chew me up
22But you have saved me, so I will declare to my fellow Israelis how great you [MTY] are.
23You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him!
24He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering;
25Yahweh, in the great gathering of your people, I will praise you for what you have done.
26The poor people whom I have invited to the meal will eat as much as they want.
27I pray that people in all nations, even in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him,
28Because Yahweh is the king!
29I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him.
30People ◄in the future generations/who have not been born yet► will also serve Yahweh.
31People who are not yet born, who will live in future years, will be told how Yahweh rescued his people.
