Sing Bible Truth - My God, My God, Why Have You Abandoned Me? (Reggae Version)

My God my God why have you abandoned me?
Why are you so far from saving me so far from my cries of anguish?

My God I call by day but you do not answer;
By night but I find no rest

Yet you are Holy
Enthroned on the praises of Israel

Our ancestors put their trust in you;
They trusted and you delivered them

They cried out to you and were saved;
They trusted in you and were not put to shame

But I am a worm not a man
Scorned by everyone despised by the people

All who see me mock me;
They hurl insults shaking their heads

He trusts in the Lord they say
Let the Lord rescue him Let him deliver him
Since he delights in him

Yet you brought me out of the womb;
You made me feel secure on my mother's breast

From birth I was cast on you;
From my mother's womb you have been my God

Do not be far from me
For trouble is near and there is no one to help

Many bulls surround me;
Strong bulls of Bashan encircle me

Roaring lions that tear their prey
Open their mouths wide against me

I am poured out like water
And all my bones are out of joint
My heart has turned to wax;
It has melted within me

My strength is dried up like a piece of pottery
And my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
You lay me in the dust of death

Dogs surround me
A pack of villains encircles me;
They pierce my hands and my feet

All my bones are on display;
People stare and gloat over me

They divide my clothes among them
And cast lots for my garment

But you Lord do not be far from me
You are my strength; come quickly to help me

Deliver me from the sword
My precious life from the power of the dogs

Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
Save me from the horns of the wild oxen

I will declare your name to my people;
In the assembly I will praise you

You who fear the Lord praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob honor him!
Revere him all you descendants of Israel!

For he has not despised or scorned
The suffering of the afflicted one;
He has not hidden his face from him
But has listened to his cry for help

From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
Before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows

The poor will eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek the Lord will praise him-
May your hearts live forever!

All the ends of the earth
Will remember and turn to the Lord
And all the families of the nations
Will bow down before him

For dominion belongs to the Lord
And he rules over the nations

All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
All who go down to the dust will kneel before him-
And no one can keep their own soul alive

A descendant will serve him;
Future generations will be told about the Lord

They will proclaim his righteousness
Declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!

They will proclaim his righteousness
Declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!

They will proclaim his righteousness
Declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!

They will proclaim his righteousness
Declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!

They will proclaim his righteousness
Declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!
