Psalms 22:11-20
-
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
-
12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
-
13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
-
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.
-
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.
-
16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
-
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
-
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
-
19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
-
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
