>Why God, why, has thou forsaken me
This becomes even more badass when you realize it's a reference to Psalm 22, the Psalm of the Cross, which basically predicts the crucifixion. Back then, it was customary to refer to things by quoting the first line (Psalm 22 starts out "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"). So the saying has double meanings, the meaning you alluded but also the meaning of "These Jews who are murdering me have just played exactly into my plans which I wrote in their own holy books"
