Lyrics (Psalm 22:8-9, 17-18, 19-20, 23-24):

Response: My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

All who see me scoff at me;
they mock me with parted lips, they wag their head;
"He relied on the LORD; let him deliver him,
let him rescue him, if he loves him." Response

Indeed, many dogs surround me,
a pack of evildoers closes in upon me;
They have pierced my hands and feet;
I can count all my bones. Response

They divide my garments among them,
and for my vesture they cast lots.
But you, O LORD, be not far from me;
O my help, hasten to aid me. Response

I will proclaim your name to my brethren;
in the midst of the assembly I will praise you:
"You who fear the Lord, praise him;
all you descendants of Jacob, give glory to him;
revere him, all you descendants of Israel!" Response

Response: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory!

Christ became obedient for us even to death, dying on the cross.
Therefore God raised him on high and gave him a name above all other names. Response
