Psm22:1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, from the words of my groaning?
Psm22:2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer; and by night, but find no rest.
Psm22:3 Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.
Psm22:4 In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them.
Psm22:5 To you they cried, and were saved; in you they trusted, and were not put to shame.
Psm22:6 But I am a worm, and not human; scorned by others, and despised by the people.
Psm22:7 All who see me mock at me; they make mouths at me, they shake their heads;
Psm22:8 "Commit your cause to the LORD; let him deliver-- let him rescue the one in whom he delights!"
Psm22:9 Yet it was you who took me from the womb; you kept me safe on my mother's breast.
Psm22:10 On you I was cast from my birth, and since my mother bore me you have been my God.
Psm22:11 Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
Psm22:12 Many bulls encircle me, strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
Psm22:13 they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion.
Psm22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast;
Psm22:15 my mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.
Psm22:16 For dogs are all around me; a company of evildoers encircles me. My hands and feet have shriveled;
Psm22:17 I can count all my bones. They stare and gloat over me;
Psm22:18 they divide my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast lots.
Psm22:19 But you, O LORD, do not be far away! O my help, come quickly to my aid!
Psm22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the power of the dog!
Psm22:21 Save me from the mouth of the lion! From the horns of the wild oxen you have rescued me.
Psm22:22 I will tell of your name to my brothers and sisters; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
Psm22:23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him; stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
Psm22:24 For he did not despise or abhor the affliction of the afflicted; he did not hide his face from me, but heard when I cried to him.
Psm22:25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him.
Psm22:26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD. May your hearts live forever!
Psm22:27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him.
Psm22:28 For dominion belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.
Psm22:29 To him, indeed, shall all who sleep in the earth bow down; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, and I shall live for him.
Psm22:30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord,
Psm22:31 and proclaim his deliverance to a people yet unborn, saying that he has done it.
Psm22:32
