Psalm 22

Psalm 22:1-31

22
Chapter 22
To the director, on the hind of the dawn, a psalm of David. 1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my roaring. 2 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my roarings. 3 But you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel. 4 In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. 5 To you our fathers cried out and were delivered; in you they trusted and were not ashamed. 6 But I am a worm and not a man, the reproach of Adam and despised by people. 7 All who see me mock me; they open their lips wide; they shake their heads. 8 All who see me mock me; they say with their lips, "He trusted in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delighted in him." 9 For you are the one who made me trust upon the breasts of my mother. 10 For upon you I cast myself from the womb; from my mother's breast you are my God. 11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near, and there is no helper. 12 Many bulls have surrounded me, bulls of Bashan. 13 They open wide their mouths against me, roaring lions that tear. 14 Like water I am poured out, and all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and you bring me down to the dust of death. 16 For dogs have surrounded me; a pack of evildoers has encircled me; like a lion, my hands and my feet. 17 I will count all my bones; they stare and look upon me. 18 They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. 19 But you, LORD, do not be far from my strength, for my help—hasten. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword, from the hand of the dog—my only one. 21 Save me from the mouth of the lion and from the horns of the wild oxen; you have answered me. 22 I will declare your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you. 23 You who fear the LORD, praise him; all you offspring of Jacob, honor him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel. 24 For he did not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted, and he did not hide his face from him; when he cried to him, he heard. 25 From you comes my praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear him. 26 The humble will eat and be satisfied; those who seek him will praise the LORD; your heart will live forever. 27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before you. 28 For kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations. 29 All the fat ones of the land will eat and bow down before him. They kneel, all who go down to the dust, and he does not keep his soul alive. 30 A seed will serve him; it will recount to the Lord a generation. 31 They will come and declare his righteousness to a people yet to be born, for he has done it.
