Psalms 22
1 To him that excelleth upon Aiieleth Hasshahar. A Psalme of Dauid. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farre from mine health, and from the wordes of my roaring?
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 O my God, I crie by day, but thou hearest not, and by night, but haue no audience.
My God, I call by day, and You do not answer, And by night, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy, and doest inhabite the prayses of Israel.
And You [are] holy, Sitting—the Praise of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didest deliuer them.
In You our fathers trusted; They trusted, and You deliver them.
5 They called vpon thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
To You they cried, and were delivered, In You they trusted, and were not disappointed.
6 But I am a worme, and not a man: a shame of men, and the contempt of the people.
And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me, haue me in derision: they make a mowe and nod the head, saying,
All beholding Me mock at Me, They make free with the lip—shake the head,
8 He trusted in the Lord, let him deliuer him: let him saue him, seeing he loueth him.
“Roll to YHWH, He delivers Him, He delivers Him, for He delighted in Him.”
9 But thou didest draw me out of ye wombe: thou gauest me hope, euen at my mothers breasts.
For You [are] He bringing Me forth from the womb, Causing Me to trust, On the breasts of My mother.
10 I was cast vpon thee, euen from ye wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly.
On You I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of My mother You [are] My God.
11 Be not farre from me, because trouble is neere: for there is none to helpe me.
Do not be far from Me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
12 Many yong bulles haue compassed me: mightie bulles of Bashan haue closed me about.
Many bulls have surrounded Me, Mighty ones of Bashan have surrounded Me,
13 They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as a ramping and roaring lyon.
They have opened their mouth against Me, A lion tearing and roaring.
14 I am like water powred out, and all my bones are out of ioynt: mine heart is like waxe: it is molten in the middes of my bowels.
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 strength is dryed vp like a potsheard, and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes, and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
My power is dried up as an earthen vessel, And My tongue is cleaving to My jaws.
16 For dogges haue compassed me, and the assemblie of the wicked haue inclosed me: they perced mine hands and my feete.
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 may tell all my bones: yet they beholde, and looke vpon me.
I count all My bones—they look expectingly, They look on Me,
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.
They apportion My garments to themselves, And they cause a lot to fall for My clothing.
19 But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.
And You, O YHWH, do not be far off, O My strength, hurry to help Me.
20 Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.
Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the paw of a dog.
21 Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.
Save Me from the mouth of a lion And You have answered Me from the horns of the high places!
22 I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,
I declare Your Name to My brothers, In the midst of the assembly I praise You.
23 Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.
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 hath not despised nor abhorred ye affliction of the poore: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he called vnto him, he heard.
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 My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.
Of You My praise [is] in the great assembly. I complete My vows before His fearers.
26 The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.
The humble eat and are satisfied, Those seeking Him praise YHWH, Your heart lives forever.
27 All the endes of the worlde shall remember themselues, and turne to the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
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 the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.
For to YHWH [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.
29 All they that be fat in the earth, shall eate and worship: all they that go downe into the dust, shall bowe before him, euen he that cannot quicken his owne soule.
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 Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.
A seed serves Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is born, that He has made!
