Psalms 22:13-17

13They open their mouths like lions! They are ready to eat me! They are like lions that tear their food into pieces.

14My strength has gone, like water that is poured away. My bones do not join together properly. I feel weak inside and hope has disappeared.

15My mouth has become dry like a piece of a broken pot. My tongue sticks to my mouth. You have left me down in the dirt, as good as dead!

16Wicked people are everywhere around me. They are ready to attack me, like a group of wild dogs. They tear apart my hands and my feet.

17My body is so weak I can count all my bones. My enemies look at me and they laugh. They are happy because I have pain.
