Psa. 22:1 |
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? / [Why are You] so far from saving me, / [From] the words of my groaning? |
Psa. 22:2 |
O my God, I call out in the day, but You do not answer; / And in the night, but there is no rest for me. |
Psa. 22:3 |
But You are holy, You who sit [enthroned] / Upon the praises of Israel. |
Psa. 22:4 |
In You our fathers trusted; / They trusted and You rescued them. |
Psa. 22:5 |
To You they cried out and were delivered; / In You they trusted and were not put to shame. |
Psa. 22:6 |
But I am a worm and not a man, / A reproach of men and one despised by the people. |
Psa. 22:7 |
All who see me deride me; / They sneer at [me;] they shake their heads, [saying,] |
Psa. 22:8 |
He committed himself to Jehovah; let Him rescue him; / Let Him deliver him since He takes pleasure in him. |
Psa. 22:9 |
But You are the One who drew me forth from the womb, / Who made me trust [while] at my mother's breasts. |
Psa. 22:10 |
I was cast upon You from birth; / From my mother's womb You have been my God. |
Psa. 22:11 |
Do not be far from me, / For trouble is near, / For there is none to help [me.] |
Psa. 22:12 |
Many bulls surround me; / The mighty [bulls] of Bashan encompass me. |
Psa. 22:13 |
They open their mouth at me, / [Like] a ravening and roaring lion. |
Psa. 22:14 |
I am poured out like water, / And all my bones are out of joint. / My heart is like wax; / It is melted within me. |
Psa. 22:15 |
My strength is dried up like a shard, / And my tongue is stuck to my jaws; / You have put me in the dust of death. |
Psa. 22:16 |
For dogs surround me; / A company of evildoers encloses me; / They pierce my hands and feet. |
Psa. 22:17 |
I count all my bones; / They look, they stare at me. |
Psa. 22:18 |
They divide my garments to themselves, / And for my clothing they cast lots. |
Psa. 22:19 |
But You, O Jehovah, be not far off; / O my help, hasten to aid me. |
Psa. 22:20 |
Deliver my soul from the sword, / My precious life from the power of the dog; |
Psa. 22:21 |
Save me from the mouth of the lion; / Indeed while I am in the horns of wild oxen, answer me. |
Psa. 22:22 |
I will declare Your name to my brothers; / In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. |
Psa. 22:23 |
You who fear Jehovah, praise Him! / All you seed of Jacob, glorify Him! / And stand in awe of Him, all you seed of Israel! |
Psa. 22:24 |
For He has not despised nor detested / The affliction of him who is afflicted; / And He has not hidden His face from him; / But when he cried out to Him, He heard. |
Psa. 22:25 |
From You [comes] my praise in the great assembly; / My vows will I pay before those who fear Him. |
Psa. 22:26 |
The lowly will eat and be satisfied; / Those who seek after Jehovah will praise Him-- / May your hearts live forever! |
Psa. 22:27 |
All the ends of the earth / Will remember and return to Jehovah, / And all families of the nations / Will worship before You; |
Psa. 22:28 |
For the kingdom is Jehovah's, / And He rules among the nations. |
Psa. 22:29 |
All the flourishing of the earth / Will eat and worship. / All who go down into the dust will bow down before Him, / Even he who does not keep his soul alive. |
Psa. 22:30 |
A seed will serve Him; / That which concerns the Lord will be told to a [coming] generation. |
Psa. 22:31 |
They will come and declare His righteousness / To a people [yet] to be born, that He has done [this.] |
