For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
2 O God my I call out by day and not you answer and night and not repose [belongs] to me.
O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.

All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
8 Roll to Yahweh let him rescue him let him deliver him for he delights in him.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
15 It has dried up like earthenware - strength my and tongue my [has been] made to cling to jaws my and to [the] dust of death you put me.
My strength is dried up, like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and thou hast brought me down to the dust of death.
16 For they have surrounded me dogs a company of evil-doers they have encircled me (like a lion *L(D)*) hands my and feet my.

They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
18 They distribute clothes my to themselves and on clothing my they cast a lot.
They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.
19 And you O Yahweh may not you be distant O strength my to help my make haste!
But thou, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.
20 Deliver! from [the] sword life my from [the] hand of a dog only [life] my.
Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one from the power of the dog.

24 For not he has despised and not he has detested [the] affliction of an afflicted [person] and not he has hidden face his from him and when cried for help he to him he heard.
For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me.
25 [is] from With you praise my in [the] assembly great vows my I will pay before [those] fearing him.

31 They will come and they may declare righteousness his to a people about to be born that he has acted.
And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
