My God, my God, O why have you
forsaken me? O why
are you so far from saving me
and from my groaning cry?
By day and night, my God, I call;
your answer still delays,
and yet you are the Holy One
who dwells in Israel's praise.

Our fathers put their trust in you;
from you salvation came.
They begged you and you set them free;
they were not put to shame.
But as for me, I am a worm
and not a man at all.
To men I am despised and base;
their scorning on me fall.

All those who look at me will laugh
and cast reproach at me.
Their mouths they open wide they wag
their heads in mockery:
"This man has trusted in the LORD;
let God redemption send.
Now let his God deliver him,
for he delights in him."

For see how dogs encircle me!
On every side there stands
a brotherhood of cruelty;
they pierce my feet and hands.
My bones are plain for me to count;
men see me and they stare.
My clothes among them they divide,
and gamble for their share.

My God, my God, O why have you
forsaken me? O why...

Matthew 27:46: "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”"

Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written,

“For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
