Psalms - ch 22 v 1 - 20
- To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?
- My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.
- And Thou `art' holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.
- In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.
- Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.
- And I `am' a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
- All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,
- `Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'
- For thou `art' He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.
- On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou `art' my God.
- Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
- Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
- They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.
- As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
- Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
- And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
- I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,
- They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
- And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.
- Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.
