Psalms 22:11-21

11Be not farH7368 from me; for troubleH6869 is nearH7138; for there is none to helpH5826.1

12ManyH7227 bullsH6499 have compassedH5437 me: strongH47 bulls of BashanH1316 have beset me roundH3803.

13They gapedH6475 upon me with their mouthsH6310, as a raveningH2963 and a roaringH7580 lionH738.2

14I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578.3

15My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.

16For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have inclosedH5362 me: they piercedH738H3738 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.

17I may tellH5608 all my bonesH6106: they lookH5027 and stareH7200 upon me.

18They partH2505 my garmentsH899 among them, and castH5307 lotsH1486 upon my vestureH3830.

19But be not thou farH7368 from me, O YhwhH3068: O my strengthH360, hasteH2363 thee to helpH5833 me.

20DeliverH5337 my soulH5315 from the swordH2719; my darlingH3173 from the powerH3027 of the dogH3611.45

21SaveH3467 me from the lion’sH738 mouthH6310: for thou hast heardH6030 me from the hornsH7161 of the unicornsH7214.
