| 22:1
| My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from
helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
|
| 22:2
| O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night
season, and am not silent.
|
| 22:3
| But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
|
| 22:4
| Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
|
| 22:5
| They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were
not confounded.
|
| 22:6
| But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the
people.
|
| 22:7
| All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they
shake the head, saying,
|
| 22:8
| He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him,
seeing he delighted in him.
|
| 22:9
| But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope
when I was upon my mother's breasts.
|
| 22:10
| I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's
belly.
|
| 22:11
| Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
|
| 22:12
| Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me
round.
|
| 22:13
| They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
|
| 22:14
| I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart
is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
|
| 22:15
| My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my
jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
|
| 22:16
| For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:
they pierced my hands and my feet.
|
| 22:17
| I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
|
| 22:18
| They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
|
| 22:19
| But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help
me.
|
| 22:20
| Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
|
| 22:21
| Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of
the unicorns.
|
| 22:22
| I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the
congregation will I praise thee.
|
| 22:23
| Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify
him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
|
| 22:24
| For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he
heard.
|
| 22:25
| My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows
before them that fear him.
|
| 22:26
| The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that
seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
|
| 22:27
| All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all
the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
|
| 22:28
| For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
|
| 22:29
| All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go
down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own
soul.
|
| 22:30
| A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a
generation.
|
| 22:31
| They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that
shall be born, that he hath done this.
