Psalms 22

aMy God, my God, why hast thou bforsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from cthe words of my roaring?
 2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
 4 Our fathers atrusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
 5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a areproach of men, and bdespised of the people.
 7 All they that see me laugh me to ascorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
 8 He atrusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
 9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
 11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
 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 aheart 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 awicked have inclosed me: they bpierced my hands and my feet.
 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
 18 They part my agarments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
 19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, ahaste thee to help me.
 20 Deliver my soul from the sword; amy 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 aunicorns.
 22 I will declare thy aname 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 acongregation: 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 aworld shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
 28 For the akingdom is the Lord's: and he is the bgovernor 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 asoul.
 30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
 31 They shall come, and shall adeclare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
