The King James Version Bible

Psalms 22:11-20

  1. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

  2. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

  3. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

  7. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

  8. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

  9. But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

  10. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
