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 GodH410, my GodH410, whyH4100 have You forsakenH5800 me? 2FarH7350 from my 3helpH3444 are the wordsH1697 of my 45groaningH7581.2My GodH430, I 6cryH7121 outH7121 by dayH3119, but You do not answerH6030; And by nightH3915, but 7I have noH3808 restH1747.3Yet 8You are holyH6918, You who 9are enthronedH3427 upon 10the praisesH8416 of IsraelH3478.4In You our fathersH1 11trustedH982; They trustedH982 and You 12rescuedH6403 them.5To You they criedH2199 outH2199 and they fledH4422 toH4422 safetyH4422; 13In You they trustedH982 and wereH954 not 14disappointedH954.

6But I am a 15wormH8439 and not a personH376, A 16disgraceH2781 of mankindH120 and 17despisedH959 by the peopleH5971.7AllH3605 who seeH7200 me 18derideH3932 me; They 19sneerH6362H8193, they 20shakeH5128 their headsH7218, saying,8“21TurnH1556 22him overH1556 to the LordH3068; 23let Him saveH6403 him; Let Him rescueH5337 him, becauseH3588 He delightsH2654 in him.”

9YetH3588 You are He who 24broughtH1518 me forthH1518 from the wombH990; You made me trustH982 when upon my mother’sH517 breastsH7699.10I was castH7993 upon You 25from 26birthH7358; You have been my GodH410 from my mother’sH517 wombH990.

1127Do not beH7368 farH7368 from me, for 28troubleH6869 is nearH7138; For thereH369 isH369 29noH369 oneH369 to helpH5826.12ManyH7227 30bullsH6499 have surroundedH5437 me; StrongH47 bulls of 31BashanH1316 have encircledH3803 me.13They 32openH6475 their mouthsH6310 wideH6475 at me, As a raveningH2963 and roaringH7580 33lionH743.14I am 34pouredH8210 outH8210 like waterH4325, And allH3605 my 35bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504; My 36heartH3820 is like waxH1749; It is meltedH4549 withinH8432 37me.15My 38strengthH3581 is driedH3001 upH3001 like a pieceH2789 ofH2789 potteryH2789, And 39my tongueH3956 clingsH1692 to my jawsH4455; And You 40layH8239 me 41in the dustH6083 of deathH4194.16For 42dogsH3611 have surroundedH5437 me; 43A bandH5712 of evildoersH7489 has encompassedH5362 me; 44They 45piercedH3564 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.17I can countH5608 allH3605 my bonesH6106. 46They lookH5027, they stareH7200 at me;18They 47divideH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, And they castH5307 lotsH1486 for my clothingH3830.

19But You, LordH3068, 48do not beH7368 farH7368 awayH7368; You who are my helpH360, 49hurryH2363 to my assistanceH5833.20SaveH5337 my 50soulH5315 from 51the swordH2719, My 52onlyH3173 life from the 53powerH3027 of the dogH3611.21SaveH3467 me from the 54lion’sH743 mouthH6310; From the hornsH7161 of the 55wildH7214 oxenH7214 You 56answerH6030 me.

22I will 57proclaimH5608 Your nameH8034 to my brothersH251; In the midstH8432 of the assemblyH6951 I will praiseH1984 You.2358You who fearH3372 the LordH3068, praiseH1984 Him; AllH3605 you 59descendantsH2233 of JacobH3290, 60glorifyH3513 Him, And 61standH1481 inH1481 aweH1481 of Him, allH3605 you 62descendantsH2233 of IsraelH3478.24For He has 63not despisedH959 norH3808 scornedH8262 the sufferingH6039 of the afflictedH6041; NorH3808 has He 64hiddenH5641 His faceH6440 from him; But 65when he criedH7768 to Him forH7768 helpH7768, He heardH8085.

25From You comes 66my praiseH8416 in the greatH7227 assemblyH6951; I shall 67payH7999 my vowsH5088 beforeH5048 those who fearH3372 Him.26The 68afflictedH6035 will eatH398 and 69beH7646 satisfiedH7646; Those who seekH1875 Him will 70praiseH1984 the LordH3068. May your 71heartH3824 liveH2421 foreverH5703!27AllH3605 the 72endsH657 of the earthH776 will rememberH2142 and turnH7725 to the LordH3068, And allH3605 the 73familiesH4940 of the nationsH1471 will worshipH2331 beforeH6440 74You.28For the 75kingdomH4410 is the Lord’sH3068 And He 76rulesH4910 over the nationsH1471.29AllH3605 the 7778prosperousH1879 of the earthH776 will eatH398 and worshipH2331, AllH3605 those who 79goH3381 downH3381 to the dustH6083 will kneelH3766 beforeH6440 Him, Even he who 8081cannotH3808 keepH2421 his soulH5315 aliveH2421.30A 8283posterityH2233 will serveH5647 Him; It will be toldH5608 of the LordH136 to 84the coming generationH1755.31They will comeH935 and 85will declareH5046 His righteousnessH6666 To a peopleH5971 86who will be bornH3205, that He has performedH6213 it.
