Psalms 22

A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.

For the music director; upon Lit the doe of the morningAijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

11My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? 2Far from my 3help are the words of my 45groaning.2My God, I 6cry out by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but 7I have no rest.3Yet 8You are holy, You who 9are enthroned upon 10the praises of Israel.4In You our fathers 11trusted; They trusted and You 12rescued them.5To You they cried out and they fled to safety; 13In You they trusted and were not 14disappointed.

6But I am a 15worm and not a person, A 16disgrace of mankind and 17despised by the people.7All who see me 18deride me; They 19sneer, they 20shake their heads, saying,8“21Turn 22him over to the Lord; 23let Him save him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

9Yet You are He who 24brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.10I was cast upon You 25from 26birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

1127Do not be far from me, for 28trouble is near; For there is 29no one to help.12Many 30bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of 31Bashan have encircled me.13They 32open their mouths wide at me, As a ravening and roaring 33lion.14I am 34poured out like water, And all my 35bones are out of joint; My 36heart is like wax; It is melted within 37me.15My 38strength is dried up like a piece of pottery, And 39my tongue clings to my jaws; And You 40lay me 41in the dust of death.16For 42dogs have surrounded me; 43A band of evildoers has encompassed me; 44They 45pierced my hands and my feet.17I can count all my bones. 46They look, they stare at me;18They 47divide my garments among them, And they cast lots for my clothing.

19But You, Lord, 48do not be far away; You who are my help, 49hurry to my assistance.20Save my 50soul from 51the sword, My 52only life from the 53power of the dog.21Save me from the 54lion’s mouth; From the horns of the 55wild oxen You 56answer me.

22I will 57proclaim Your name to my brothers; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.2358You who fear the Lord, praise Him; All you 59descendants of Jacob, 60glorify Him, And 61stand in awe of Him, all you 62descendants of Israel.24For He has 63not despised nor scorned the suffering of the afflicted; Nor has He 64hidden His face from him; But 65when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

25From You comes 66my praise in the great assembly; I shall 67pay my vows before those who fear Him.26The 68afflicted will eat and 69be satisfied; Those who seek Him will 70praise the Lord. May your 71heart live forever!27All the 72ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, And all the 73families of the nations will worship before 74You.28For the 75kingdom is the Lord’s And He 76rules over the nations.29All the 7778prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who 79go down to the dust will kneel before Him, Even he who 8081cannot keep his soul alive.30A 8283posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to 84the coming generation.31They will come and 85will declare His righteousness To a people 86who will be born, that He has performed it.
