Responsorial Psalm 21(22):8-9,17-20,23-24

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

All who see me deride me.
They curl their lips, they toss their heads.
‘He trusted in the Lord, let Him save him;
let Him release him if this is his friend.’

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Many dogs have surrounded me,
a band of the wicked beset me.
They tear holes in my hands and my feet
I can count every one of my bones.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

They divide my clothing among them.
They cast lots for my robe.
O Lord, do not leave me alone,
my strength, make haste to help me!

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

I will tell of Your name to my brethren
and praise You where they are assembled.
‘You who fear the Lord give Him praise;
all sons of Jacob, give Him glory.
Revere Him, Israel’s sons.

My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

Walking with Jesus in his anguish, as He walks with us!

This arrangement of Psalm 22 is very touching. The voices and instruments are delicate yet powerful in the emotions that are conveyed. I imagine myself walking with Jesus in his anguish. We must believe that Jesus walks with us now in both our sorrows and our joys. God will never forsake us!
