I feel forgotten, God;
have you forsaken me?
Remind me of the days of
old,
let me meditate on the
works of your hands
and think about all your
deeds.
Am I so foolish? Having started with the Spirit,
am I now ending with the
flesh?
Did I for nothing experience
all of your love?
Can a woman forget her
nursing child,
or show no compassion
for the child of her womb?
Even these may forget, yet
you will not forget.
You sent us Jesus, who
found sheep without a shepherd,
who had compassion on
them, and who taught them.
Teach me, Good Shepherd:
you neither forget nor forsake us.
