My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

Verse 1 is found in chapter 22 of Psalms. Psalm 22 begins with an extreme experience of abandonment and ends with a universal proclamation of God’s faithfulness. The contrast between the apparent absence of an answer and the memory of how God helped the ancestors sustains the plea. Images of animals, violence, and vulnerability describe total threat. The second half transforms lament into praise and extends the announcement of salvation from the individual to generations and peoples.
