Psalms 22:11-21

11Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.

12Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;

13they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.

14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;

15my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.

16For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet—

17I can count all my bones— they stare and gloat over me;

18they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.

19But you, O Lord, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid!

20Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog!

21Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!
