Psalms

  1. 22:1  <> My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
  2. 2  O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
  3. 3  But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
  4. 4  Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
  5. 5  They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
  6. 6  But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
  7. 7  All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
  8. 8  He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
  9. 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. 10  I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
  11. 11  Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
  12. 12  Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
  13. 13  They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
  14. 14  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
  15. 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. 16  For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
  17. 17  I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
  18. 18  They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
  19. 19  But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
  20. 20  Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
  21. 21  Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
  22. 22  I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
  23. 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. 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. 25  My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
  26. 26  The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
  27. 27  All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
  28. 28  For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
  29. 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 soul.
  30. 30  A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
  31. 31  They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
