Exegesis
The construct sequence divrei sha'agati {דִּבְרֵי שַׁאֲגָתִי | diḇ-rê ša-ʾă-gā-ṯî} ‘words of my roaring’ closes the verse, where divrei governs sha'agati to denote the Psalmist’s vocal anguish. The Hebrew word order—vocative repetition, interrogative, main verb, separation phrase, and final construct chain—structures the progression from address to existential distress.
In context — Psalm 22:1
My God , my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my roaring.
