Psalm 22:1-31 LSV
[1] TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “DOE OF THE MORNING.” A PSALM OF DAVID. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Far from My salvation, || The words of My roaring? [2] My God, I call by day, and You do not answer, || And by night, and am not silent. [3] And You [are] holy, || Sitting—the Praise of Israel. [4] In You our fathers trusted; They trusted, and You deliver them. [5] To You they cried, and were delivered, || In You they trusted, and were not disappointed. [6] And I [am] a worm, and no man, || A reproach of man, and despised of the people. [7] All beholding Me mock at Me, || They make free with the lip—shake the head, [8] “Roll to YHWH, He delivers Him, || He delivers Him, for He delighted in Him.” [9] For You [are] He bringing Me forth from the womb, || Causing Me to trust, || On the breasts of My mother. [10] On You I have been cast from the womb, || From the belly of My mother You [are] My God. [11] Do not be far from Me, || For adversity is near, for there is no helper. [12] Many bulls have surrounded Me, || Mighty ones of Bashan have surrounded Me, [13] They have opened their mouth against Me, || A lion tearing and roaring. [14] I have been poured out as waters, || And all my bones have separated themselves, || My heart has been like wax, || It is melted in the midst of My bowels. [15] My power is dried up as an earthen vessel, || And My tongue is cleaving to My jaws. [16] And You appoint Me to the dust of death, || For dogs have surrounded Me, || A company of evildoers has surrounded Me, || Piercing My hands and My feet. [17] I count all My bones—they look expectingly, || They look on Me, [18] They apportion My garments to themselves, || And they cause a lot to fall for My clothing. [19] And You, O YHWH, do not be far off, || O My strength, hurry to help Me. [20] Deliver My soul from the sword, || My only one from the paw of a dog. [21] Save Me from the mouth of a lion || And You have answered Me from the horns of the high places! [22] I declare Your Name to My brothers, || In the midst of the assembly I praise You. [23] You who fear YHWH, praise Him, || All the seed of Jacob, honor Him, || And be afraid of Him, all you seed of Israel. [24] For He has not despised, nor detested, || The affliction of the afflicted, || Nor has He hidden His face from Him, || And in His crying to Him He hears. [25] Of You My praise [is] in the great assembly. I complete My vows before His fearers. [26] The humble eat and are satisfied, || Those seeking Him praise YHWH, || Your heart lives forever. [27] Remember and return to YHWH, || Do all the ends of the earth, || And bow themselves before You, || Do all families of the nations, [28] For to YHWH [is] the kingdom, || And He is ruling among nations. [29] And the fat ones of earth have eaten, || And they bow themselves, || All going down to dust bow before Him, || And he [who] has not revived his soul. [30] A seed serves Him, || It is declared of the Lord to the generation. [31] They come and declare His righteousness, || To a people that is born, that He has made!
