TSK · Mark 15:34

For the music director; according to the tune“Morning Doe;” a psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.

I will pray to God, my high ridge:“Why do you ignore me? Why must I walk around mourning because my enemies oppress me?”

The oppressed and the poor look for water, but there is none; their tongues are parched from thirst. I, the LORD, will respond to their prayers; I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them.

Why do you keep on forgetting us? Why do you forsake us so long?

At about three o’clock Jesus shouted with a loud voice,“Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is,“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said,“Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And after he said this he breathed his last.

During his earthly life Christ offered both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion.
