Psa 22:1 |
To the Chief Musician. Set to "The Deer of the Dawn." [fn] A Psalm of David. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? [Why are You so] far from helping Me, [And from] the words of My groaning?
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:2 |
O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:3 |
But You [are] holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:4 |
Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:5 |
They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:6 |
But I [am] a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:7 |
All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying],
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:8 |
"He trusted [fn] in the LORD, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!"
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:9 |
But You [are] He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust [while] on 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 |
Be not far from Me, For trouble [is] near; For [there is] none to help.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:12 |
Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong [bulls] of Bashan have encircled Me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:13 |
They gape at Me [with] their mouths, [Like] a raging 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 has melted within Me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:15 |
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:16 |
For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced [fn] My hands and My feet;
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:17 |
I can count all My bones. They look [and] stare at Me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:18 |
They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:19 |
But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:20 |
Deliver Me from the sword, My precious [life] from the power of the dog.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:21 |
Save Me from the lion's mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:22 |
I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:23 |
You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:24 |
For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from Him; But when He cried to Him, He heard.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:25 |
My praise [shall be] of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:26 |
The poor shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever!
|
  
  
|
Psa 22:27 |
All the ends of the world Shall remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You. [fn]
|
  
  
|

For the kingdom [is] the LORD's, And He rules over the nations.
|
  
  
|
