Psalms 22

¹My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

²O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not;

³But thou art holy,

⁴Our fathers trusted in thee:

⁵They cried unto thee, and were delivered:

⁶But I am a worm, and no man;

⁷All they that see me laugh me to scorn:

⁸Commit thyself unto Jehovah; let him deliver him:

⁹But thou art he that took me out of the womb;

¹⁰I was cast upon thee from the womb;

¹¹Be not far from me; for trouble is near;

¹²Many bulls have compassed me;

¹³They gape upon me with their mouth,

¹⁴I am poured out like water,

¹⁵My strength is dried up like a potsherd;

¹⁶For dogs have compassed me:

¹⁷I may count all my bones.

¹⁸They part my garments among them,

¹⁹But be not thou far off, O Jehovah:

²⁰Deliver my soul from the sword,

²¹Save me from the lion’s mouth;

²²I will declare thy name unto my brethren:

²³Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;

²⁴For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;

²⁵Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:

²⁶The meek shall eat and be satisfied;

²⁷All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah;

²⁸For the kingdom is Jehovah’s;

²⁹All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship:

³⁰A seed shall serve him;

³¹They shall come and shall declare his righteousness
