MHRPC: Psalm 22F

Psalm 22F: Psalm 22:1-11

Fillmore, 88.88.88. [F]

1. ¹ My God, my God, O why have You
        In my distress forsaken me?
O why so far from giving help,
        And from my agonizing plea?
² All day, my God, I cry in vain;
        By night, yet no relief I gain.

2. ³ But still You are the Holy One;
        In Israel's praise You dwelling have.
⁴ Our fathers put their trust in You;
        They trusted, and You rescue gave.
⁵ To You they cried; deliv'rance came;
        They trusted and were free from shame.

3. ⁶ Reproached of men, by all despised,
        A worm and not a man am I;
⁷ All they that seem me laugh in scorn;
        They shake their heads and taunting cry,
⁸ "He trusts the LORD! Let Him defend
        And save him, if He is his friend!"

4. ⁹ You took me safely from the womb;
        Gave faith when on my mother's breast;
¹⁰ From birth dependent on Your care.
        You are my God; In You I rest.
¹¹ Be not far off, for grief is nigh;
        There's none on whom I can rely.
