Psalms - ch 22 v 1 - 20
- 1 My ùGod, my ùGod, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou far from my salvation, from the words of my groaning?
- My God, I cry by day, and thou answerest not; and by night, and there is no rest for me:
- And thou art holy, thou that dwellest amid the praises of Israel.
- Our fathers confided in thee: they confided, and thou didst deliver them.
- They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded.
- But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and the despised of the people.
- All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying:
- Commit it to Jehovah -- let him rescue him; let him deliver him, because he delighteth in him!
- But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother's breasts.
- I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my ùGod from my mother's belly.
- Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
- Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan's strong ones have beset me round.
- They gape upon me with their mouth, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
- I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is become like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
- My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death.
- For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
- I may count all my bones. They look, they stare upon me;
- They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
- But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, haste thee to help me.
- Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog;
- To the chief Musician. Upon Aijeleth-Shahar. A Psalm of David.
