*The Hymn of My God My God ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲡⲁⲛⲟⲩϯ chanted during Bright Saturday Distribution in the Tune of the Hymn of E Aghape*

My God, my God, attend to me. Why have You forsaken me?

All the words of my transgressions are far from my salvation.

O my God, I will cry to You by day, but will You not hear?

And by night, and it shall not be accounted for folly to me.

I however, am a worm, and not a man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.

Everyone who sees me laughs at me: they spoke by their lips

—————————————————————————

they shake their heads, they said: "He believed, He hoped in the Lord: let Him rescue Him: let Him deliver Him if He wants."

Be not far from Me, For trouble is near; For there is none to help. 

Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls have encircled Me. 

They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion.

All manner of dogs have surrounded me: 

the assembly of the wicked has seized me: they pierced my hands and feet, 

they counted all my bones: and they stared at me and looked at me: 

they divided up my vestments among them; and for my clothing they cast lots: 

but You, O Lord do not let my help be far from me: 

pay heed to your reception of me.

—————————————————————————

Save My soul from the sword, My sonship alone from the mouth of a lion. 

Save Me from the lion's mouth And my humility from the horn of the unicorn! 

He set me upon a rock: and now behold He raised up my head 

above my enemies: 

Those who gave me evil in return for good: they accused me because I was seeking after the truth.

They rejected me, I the beloved, as a despised dead man

and they nailed my flesh: do not abandon me Lord my God: do not go far from me:

attend to my help, Lord of my salvation.

—————————————————————————

I waited for someone to grieve with me 

but there was none: and for him who comforts me 

and I did not find him: 

they gave gall for my food; and they gave me vinegar for my thirst.

Let their table become a snare before them; and a recompense and a scandal: 

their eyes, let them be darkened so that they do not see any more he who smote him.

It is them who persecuted him:

—————————————————————————

but You Lord my God I shall put my spirit in your hands: 

they added them to the pain of my wounds: and they added iniquity to their iniquity: 

do not let them come into Your righteousness: 

they shall be wiped out; of the book of the living: 

and do not let them be written with the righteous.I am poor and he is sorrowful. 

And the salvation of your face God has received me.

They placed me in a low den: 

in dark places and the shadow of death. But I rested and I slept 

and I rose for the Lord will help me. 

—————————————————————————

Will not he who sleeps rise? You Lord have mercy upon me: 

raise me up and I shall give them their recompense: in this I knew that You desired me.

What is the benefit of my blood; when I go to the destruction?

But You my God, brought me up from the den of sorrow; and the mud of hardship.

The Lord heard and had mercy upon me: You have turned my mourning into joy for me.

Thus our mouths were filled with joy: and our tongues with rejoicing: 

then they shall say in the nations: "the Lord dealt increasingly with them. 

The Lord dealt increasingly with us; we became happy."

For the glory of the Lord forever. Amen.
