To the director: To the tune “The Deer of Dawn.”[a] A song of David.

22 My God, my God, why have you left me?
    You seem too far away to save me,
    too far to hear my cries for help!
My God, I kept calling by day,
    and I was not silent at night.
But you did not answer me.

God, you are the Holy One.
    You sit as King upon the praises of Israel.
