Psalms 22:12-30
-
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.
-
21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
-
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
-
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.
-
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.
-
25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
-
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
-
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.
-
28 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he is the governor among the nations.
-
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.
-
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
