Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

1 To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, and are far from my deliverance, and from the words of my groaning?

2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and in the night, and am not silent.

3 But You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

4 Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them.

5 They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7 All who see Me mock me; they shoot out the lip; they shake the head, saying,

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

8 He trusted on Jehovah; let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him!

9 For You are He who took Me out of the womb, causing Me to trust while on My mother's breasts.

10 I was cast on You from the womb; You are My God from My mother's belly.

11 Be not far from Me; for trouble is near, for there is none to help.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

12 Many bulls have circled around Me; strong bulls Of Bashan have surrounded Me.

13 They opened wide their mouths on Me, like a ripping and a roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water, and all My bones are spread apart; 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 clings to My jaws;

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

16 and You have brought Me into the dust of death. For dogs have circled around Me; the band of spoilers have hemmed Me in, piercers of My hands and My feet.

17 I can count all My bones; they look and stare at Me.

18 They divide My garments among them and cast lots for My clothing.

19 But You, O Jehovah, be not far from Me; O My strength, hurry to help Me!

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

20 Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the dog's hand.

21 Save Me from the lion's mouth; from the wild oxen's horns. You have answered Me.

22 I will declare Your name to My brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You.

23 You who fear Jehovah, praise Him; all of you, the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him all the seed of Israel.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

24 For He has not despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; and He has not hidden His face from him, but when he cried to Him, He heard.

25 My praise shall be of You in the great congregation; I will pay My vows before the ones who fear Him.

26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Jehovah shall praise Him; your heart shall live forever.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.

28 For the kingdom is Jehovah's; and He is the ruler among the nations.

29 All the fat ones on the earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him; and none can keep alive his own soul.

Psalms Chapter[BR] 22

30 A seed shall serve Him; it shall be spoken of Jehovah to the coming generation.

31 They shall come, and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born, that He has done this.
