Exegesis
The adjective rachoq {רָחוֹק | rā-ḥōq} ‘far’ with the construct mi-yeshuati {מִישׁוּעָתִי | mi-ye-šū-ʿā-ṯî} ‘from my deliverance’ forms an adverbial of separation, emphasizing divine distance.
In context — Psalm 22:1
My God , my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my roaring.
