chapter_Psalm_22
Psalm 22:1: To the Overseer, on 'The Hind of the Morning.' &#8212; A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring? Psalm 22:2: My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me. Psalm 22:3: And Thou art holy, Sitting &#8212; the Praise of Israel. Psalm 22:4: In Thee did our fathers trust &#8212; they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them. Psalm 22:5: Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed. Psalm 22:6: And I am a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people. Psalm 22:7: All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip &#8212; shake the head, Psalm 22:8: 'Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.' Psalm 22:9: For thou art He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother. Psalm 22:10: On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God. Psalm 22:11: Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper. Psalm 22:12: Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me, Psalm 22:13: They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring. Psalm 22:14: As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels. Psalm 22:15: Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws. Psalm 22:16: And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet. Psalm 22:17: I count all my bones &#8212; they look expectingly, They look upon me, Psalm 22:18: They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall. Psalm 22:19: And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste. Psalm 22:20: Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one. Psalm 22:21: Save me from the mouth of a lion: &#8212; And &#8212; from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me! Psalm 22:22: I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee. Psalm 22:23: Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel. Psalm 22:24: For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth. Psalm 22:25: Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers. Psalm 22:26: The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever. Psalm 22:27: Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations, Psalm 22:28: For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations. Psalm 22:29: And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul. Psalm 22:30: A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation. Psalm 22:31: They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
