Psalms 22:1-31

112My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? 3Far from my 4help are the words of my 56groaning.2My God, I 7cry out by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but 8I have no rest.3Yet 9You are holy, You who 10are enthroned upon 11the praises of Israel.4In You our fathers 12trusted; They trusted and You 13rescued them.5To You they cried out and they fled to safety; 14In You they trusted and were not 15disappointed.

6But I am a 16worm and not a person, A 17disgrace of mankind and 18despised by the people.7All who see me 19deride me; They 20sneer, they 21shake their heads, saying,8“22Turn 23him over to the Lord; 24let Him save him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

9Yet You are He who 25brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.10I was cast upon You 26from 27birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

1128Do not be far from me, for 29trouble is near; For there is 30no one to help.12Many 31bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of 32Bashan have encircled me.13They 33open their mouths wide at me, As a ravening and roaring 34lion.14I am 35poured out like water, And all my 36bones are out of joint; My 37heart is like wax; It is melted within 38me.15My 39strength is dried up like a piece of pottery, And 40my tongue clings to my jaws; And You 41lay me 42in the dust of death.16For 43dogs have surrounded me; 44A band of evildoers has encompassed me; 45They 46pierced my hands and my feet.17I can count all my bones. 47They look, they stare at me;18They 48divide my garments among them, And they cast lots for my clothing.

19But You, Lord, 49do not be far away; You who are my help, 50hurry to my assistance.20Save my 51soul from 52the sword, My 53only life from the 54power of the dog.21Save me from the 55lion’s mouth; From the horns of the 56wild oxen You 57answer me.

22I will 58proclaim Your name to my brothers; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.2359You who fear the Lord, praise Him; All you 60descendants of Jacob, 61glorify Him, And 62stand in awe of Him, all you 63descendants of Israel.24For He has 64not despised nor scorned the suffering of the afflicted; Nor has He 65hidden His face from him; But 66when he cried to Him for help, He heard.

25From You comes 67my praise in the great assembly; I shall 68pay my vows before those who fear Him.26The 69afflicted will eat and 70be satisfied; Those who seek Him will 71praise the Lord. May your 72heart live forever!27All the 73ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, And all the 74families of the nations will worship before 75You.28For the 76kingdom is the Lord’s And He 77rules over the nations.29All the 7879prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who 80go down to the dust will kneel before Him, Even he who 8182cannot keep his soul alive.30A 8384posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to 85the coming generation.31They will come and 86will declare His righteousness To a people 87who will be born, that He has performed it.
