¹ For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David.

Ps 21:1

² O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me?

³ O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear:

Ps 21:3

⁴ But thou, the praise of Israel, dwellest in a sanctuary.

Ps 21:4

⁵ Our fathers hoped in thee;

Ps 21:5

⁶ They cried to thee, and were saved:

Ps 21:6

⁷ But I am a worm, and not a man;

Ps 21:7

⁸ All that saw me mocked me:

Ps 21:8

⁹ He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him,

Ps 21:9

¹⁰ For thou art he that drew me out of the womb;

Ps 21:10

¹¹ I was cast on thee from the womb:

Ps 21:11

¹² Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near;

Ps 21:12

¹³ Many bullocks have compassed me:

Ps 21:13

¹⁴ They have opened their mouth against me,

Ps 21:14

¹⁵ I am poured out like water,

Ps 21:15

¹⁶ My strength is dried up like a potsherd;

Ps 21:16

¹⁷ For many dogs have compassed me:

Ps 21:17

¹⁸ They counted all my bones;

Ps 21:18

¹⁹ They parted my garments [among] themselves,

Ps 21:19

²⁰ But thou, O Lord, remove not my help afar off:

Ps 21:20

²¹ Deliver my soul from the sword;

Ps 21:21

²² Save me from the lion’s mouth;

Ps 21:22

²³ I will declare thy name to my brethren:

Ps 21:23

²⁴ Ye that fear the Lord, praise him;

Ps 21:24

²⁵ For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor;

Ps 21:25

²⁶ My praise is of thee in the great congregation:

Ps 21:26

²⁷ The poor shall eat and be satisfied;

Ps 21:27

²⁸ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord:

Ps 21:28

²⁹ For the kingdom is the Lord’s;

Ps 21:29

³⁰ All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshiped:

Ps 21:30

³¹ And my seed shall serve him:

Ps 21:31

³² And they shall report his righteousness

Ps 21:32
