We're not forsaken because Christ was forsaken

Psalm 37:25: "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread"

Why is this above possible?:
Mark 15:33-37:
"And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” And some of the bystanders hearing it said, “Behold, he is calling Elijah.” And someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink, saying, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.” 37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed his last."

Christ the Only Righteous One was forsaken for us on the Cross. He begged for thirst, and they gave him vinegar for drink. This is why we wicked, evil sinners can be brought into a relationship with God by faith in Christ, and forever be NOT forsaken by Him. Christ was counted to be a sinner on the cross, so that we can be called Righteous, so that we may have the blessing of God's unfailing love. Praise be to Jesus Christ
