Psalms 22:11-21
11Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
12Many bulls surround me;strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.13They open their jaws against melike lions that roar and maul.14I am poured out like water,and all my bones are disjointed.My heart is like wax;it melts away within me.15My strength1 is dried up like a potsherd,and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.You lay me in the dust of death.
16For dogs surround me;a band of evil men encircles me;they have pierced my hands and feet.217I can count all my bones;they stare and gloat over me.18They divide my garments among themand cast lots for my clothing.3
19But You, O LORD, be not far off;O my Strength, come quickly to help me.20Deliver my soul from the sword,my precious life from the power of wild dogs.21Save me from the mouth of the lion;at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
