אֵלִ֣י אֵ֭לִי לָמָ֣ה עֲזַבְתָּ֑נִי רָח֥וֹק מִֽ֝ישׁוּעָתִ֗י דִּבְרֵ֥י שַׁאֲגָתִֽי
Eli eli lamah azavtani rachok mishu'ati divrei sha'agati
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? [You are] far from my salvation [and] from the words of my roaring.
אֱֽלֹהַ֗י אֶקְרָ֣א י֭וֹמָם וְלֹ֣א תַעֲנֶ֑ה וְ֝לַ֗יְלָה וְֽלֹא־דֻֽמִיָּ֥ה לִֽי
Elohai ekra yomam velo ta'aneh velayyelah velo-dumiyyah li
My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent.

Ve'attah kadosh yoshev tehillot yisra'el
But You are holy, enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

In You our fathers trusted; they trusted, and You rescued them.

Ve'anochi tola'at velo-ish cherpat adam uvezui am
But I am a worm, less than human; scorned by men, despised by people.
כׇּל־רֹ֭אַי יַלְעִ֣גוּ לִ֑י יַפְטִ֥ירוּ בְ֝שָׂפָ֗ה יָנִ֥יעוּ רֹֽאשׁ
Kol-ro'ai yal'igu li yaftiru vesafah yani'u rosh
All who see me mock me; they curl their lips, they shake their heads.
גֹּ֣ל אֶל־יְהֹוָ֣ה יְפַלְּטֵ֑הוּ יַ֝צִּילֵ֗הוּ כִּ֘י חָ֥פֵֽץ בּֽוֹ
Gol el-adonai yefalletehu yatzilehu ki chafetz bo
One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him.
כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה גֹחִ֣י מִבָּ֑טֶן מַ֝בְטִיחִ֗י עַל־שְׁדֵ֥י אִמִּֽי
Ki-attah gochi mibbaten mavtichi al-shedei immi
You drew me from the womb, made me secure at my mother’s breast.
עָ֭לֶיךָ הׇשְׁלַ֣כְתִּי מֵרָ֑חֶם מִבֶּ֥טֶן אִ֝מִּ֗י אֵ֣לִי אָֽתָּה
Aleicha hoshlachti merachem mibbeten immi eli attah
Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God.
