My God, my God look upon me

My God, my God look upon me,
why hast thou forsaken me?

and art so far from my health
and from the words op my complaint.

O God, my God,
I cry'd unto thee in the daytime and thou hearest not,
and in the night season also I take no rest.

and thou continuest holy
O thou worship of Israel.

My God, my God look upon me,
why hast thou forsaken me?
