< Psalms 22 >
1 To the choirmaster on [the] doe of the dawn a psalm of David. O God my God my why? have you forsaken me [are] far from deliverance my [the] words of cry of distress my.
2 O God my I call out by day and not you answer and night and not repose [belongs] to me.
3 And you [are] holy sitting [the] praises of Israel.
4 In you they trusted ancestors our they trusted and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried out and they were delivered in you they trusted and not they were ashamed.
6 And I [am] a worm and not a man a reproach of humankind and despised of a people.
7 All [those who] see me they mock me they make a separation with a lip they shake a head.
8 Roll to Yahweh let him rescue him let him deliver him for he delights in him.
9 For you [were] drawing forth me from [the] belly [were] making trust me on [the] breasts of mother my.
10 On you I was cast from [the] womb from [the] belly of mother my [have been] God my you.
11 May not you be far from me for trouble [is] near for there not [is] a helper.
12 They have surrounded me bulls many mighty [bulls] of Bashan they have encircled me.
13 They have opened on me mouth their a lion tearing and roaring.
14 Like water I have been poured out and they have become dislocated all bones my it has become heart my like wax it has melted in [the] midst of inward parts my.
15 It has dried up like earthenware - strength my and tongue my [has been] made to cling to jaws my and to [the] dust of death you put me.
16 For they have surrounded me dogs a company of evil-doers they have encircled me (like a lion *L(D)*) hands my and feet my.
17 I count all bones my they they look they look on me.
18 They distribute clothes my to themselves and on clothing my they cast a lot.
19 And you O Yahweh may not you be distant O strength my to help my make haste!
20 Deliver! from [the] sword life my from [the] hand of a dog only [life] my.
21 Save me from [the] mouth of a lion and from [the] horns of wild oxen you have answered me.
22 I will recount name your to brothers my in among [the] assembly I will praise you.
23 O [those] fearing Yahweh - praise him O all [the] offspring of Jacob honor him and be afraid from him O all [the] offspring of Israel.
24 For not he has despised and not he has detested [the] affliction of an afflicted [person] and not he has hidden face his from him and when cried for help he to him he heard.
25 [is] from With you praise my in [the] assembly great vows my I will pay before [those] fearing him.
26 They will eat humble [people] - so they may be satisfied they will praise Yahweh [those who] seek him may it live heart your for ever.
27 They will remember - and they may turn to Yahweh all [the] ends of [the] earth so they may bow down before you all [the] clans of [the] nations.
28 For [belongs] to Yahweh the kingship and [he is] ruling over the nations.
29 They have eaten and they have bowed down - all [the] fat [people] of [the] earth before him they will bow down all [those who are] about to go down of dust and life his not he has preserved alive.
30 Offspring it will serve him it will be recounted of [the] Lord to the generation.
31 They will come and they may declare righteousness his to a people about to be born that he has acted.
