Do not use it as a gap-filler. Periods of silence, when intentional, should proliferate. Many actions that might normally be accompanied by music may be done in silence, such as entering and leaving the church and during the distribution and reception of holy communion. If the over-riding atmosphere of Good Friday is one of silence, then at those points where music is employed, it will have an altogether greater effect.

If reproducing this version, please put ‘Words (c) David Schütz’ at the beginning or the end of the psalm. verses1-2 My God, my God, why, why am I forsaken? Why don’t you help me? Why will you not listen? My God, by day I cry, but you don’t answer, night brings no sleeping. verses 3-5 Yet you are holy, ‘throned on Israel’s praises. In you our fathers trusted, and you saved them. To you they cried, you were the one who saved them. You did not shame them. verses 6-8 But I’m a worm, despised, no longer human; scorned by the people, mocked by those who see me. They sneer and tell me: ‘Trust inGod to save you – if you have pleased him.’ verses 9-11a Yet it was you who from the womb, first brought me; and since my birth, I clung to you for safety. You’ve been my God, Lord, since my mother bore me: Don’t be far from me! verses 11b-14a Trouble is near, and there is none to help me. Like bulls, my foes all circle and surround me. They bare their teeth and roar at me like lions – my strength is failing! verses 14b-15 Like water poured out, and like wax that’s melting, my heart is breaking; all my bones disjointed, my mouth is dry, my tongue is thick and swollen – in death you lay me. verses 16-18 Now come the wicked, who like dogs surround me; My bones stick out; my hands and feet they’re piercing. They stare and gloat; they share my clothes among them; for them they gamble. verses 19-22 Lord, don’t be far off! Quickly come to save me from these wild lions, dogs who want to kill me! Then I’ll proclaim your name to all my people: with them I’ll praise you! NEW!
