(Verse 1)
O Lord my God, why hast thou forsaken me
And art so far from my health and from the words of my complaint?
I am poured out out, like water
All my bones are out of joint
My heart also in the midst of my body
Is ev'n like melting wax
(Chorus)
But be not thou far from me O Lord
Thou art my succour, haste thee to help me
(Verse 2)
For many dogs are come about me
And the counsel of the wicked lay'th siege against me
They pierc'd my hands and my feet; I may tell all my bones
They stand staring and looking upon me
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vеsture
(Chorus)
But be not thou far from me O Lord
Thou art my succour, hastе thee to help me
O Lord my God was written by Pelham Humfrey.
