Why King David Wrote Psalm 22:
Psalm 22 is one of the most poignant and heartfelt psalms written by King David. It reflects his deep anguish and feelings of abandonment, yet it also shows his unwavering faith and trust in God's deliverance. David penned this psalm during a time of intense personal struggle, capturing the universal human experience of suffering and the hope of divine intervention.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why you so far from helpin', can't you hear my plea?
I cry out in the daytime, no answer comes my way,
In the night I'm callin', Lord, but I don't hear you say.

(Chorus)
But you are holy, Lord, the praise of Israel,
Our fathers they trusted you, and you delivered them so well.
They cried out, you heard 'em, saved 'em from their strife,
But here I am, a lonely worm, just fightin' for my life.

(Verse 2)
They mock me, they scorn me, sayin' "Where's your God now?"
"He trusted in the Lord, but where's his savior now?"
But you brought me from the womb, you made me trust in you,
From my mother's arms to now, Lord, I've always looked to you.

(Chorus)
But you are holy, Lord, the praise of Israel,
Our fathers they trusted you, and you delivered them so well.
They cried out, you heard 'em, saved 'em from their strife,
But here I am, a lonely worm, just fightin' for my life.

(Bridge)
I'm poured out like water, all my bones are out of joint,
My heart is meltin' like wax, oh Lord, what's the point?
My strength is gone, my tongue's stuck, dust of death's my bed,
Dogs surround me, evildoers close in, feelin' almost dead.

(Verse 3)
They pierced my hands and feet, Lord, they count all my bones,
Dividin' my garments, castin' lots for what I own.
But don't be far, Yahweh, come hurry to my side,
Deliver me from the sword, save me from this ride.

(Chorus)
But you are holy, Lord, the praise of Israel,
Our fathers they trusted you, and you delivered them so well.
They cried out, you heard 'em, saved 'em from their strife,
But here I am, a lonely worm, just fightin' for my life.

(Verse 4)
I'll declare your name, Lord, to my brothers in the crowd,
Among the assembly, I'll praise you loud and proud.
You who fear the Lord, come praise and glorify,
For he heard my cryin', saved me from the sky.

(Chorus)
But you are holy, Lord, the praise of Israel,
Our fathers they trusted you, and you delivered them so well.
They cried out, you heard 'em, saved 'em from their strife,
But here I am, a lonely worm, just fightin' for my life.

(Outro)
All the ends of the earth shall remember and return,
To Yahweh they'll bow, and his love they'll learn.
Posterity will serve him, future generations proclaim,
They'll declare his righteousness, forever sing his name.

Psalm 22 (WEB Translation):

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer;
in the night season, and am not silent.

But you are holy,
you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

Our fathers trusted in you.
They trusted, and you delivered them.
