Psalms 22
1 For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
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?
2 O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
O my God, I crie by day, but thou hearest not, and by night, but haue no audience.
3 Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
But thou art holy, and doest inhabite the prayses of Israel.
4 In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didest deliuer them.
5 Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
They called vpon thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
But I am a worme, and not a man: a shame of men, and the contempt of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
All they that see me, haue me in derision: they make a mowe and nod the head, saying,
8 'Let him commit himself unto the LORD! let Him rescue him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.'
He trusted in the Lord, let him deliuer him: let him saue him, seeing he loueth him.
9 For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts.
But thou didest draw me out of ye wombe: thou gauest me hope, euen at my mothers breasts.
10 Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my God from my mother's womb.
I was cast vpon thee, euen from ye wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
Be not farre from me, because trouble is neere: for there is none to helpe me.
12 Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
Many yong bulles haue compassed me: mightie bulles of Bashan haue closed me about.
13 They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as a ramping and roaring lyon.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts.
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.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death.
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.
16 For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet.
For dogges haue compassed me, and the assemblie of the wicked haue inclosed me: they perced mine hands and my feete.
17 I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me.
I may tell all my bones: yet they beholde, and looke vpon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do they cast lots.
They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.
19 But Thou, O LORD, be not far off; O Thou my strength, hasten to help me.
But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the power of the dog.
Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen do Thou answer me.
Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.
22 I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee.
I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,
23 'Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.
24 For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.'
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.
25 From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear Him.
My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.
26 Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise the LORD that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever!
The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.
27 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee.
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.
28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S; and He is the ruler over the nations.
For the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.
29 All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
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.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.
Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done it.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
