Psalms 22:10-20

¹⁰On your care was I cast from my very birth, you are my God from my mother's womb.

¹¹Be not far from me, for trouble is nigh, and there is none to help.

¹²I am circled by many bulls, beset by the mighty of Bashan,

¹³who face me with gaping jaws, like ravening roaring lions.

¹⁴Poured out am I like water, and all my bones are loosened. My heart is become like wax, melted within me.

¹⁵My palate is dry as a sherd, my tongue sticks to my jaws; in the dust of death you lay me.

¹⁶For dogs are round about me, a band of knaves encircles me, gnawing my hands and my feet.

¹⁷I can count my bones, every one. As for them, they feast their eyes on me.

¹⁸They divide my garments amongst them, and over my raiment cast lots.

¹⁹But you, O Lord, be not far, O my strength, hasten to help me.

²⁰Deliver my life from the sword my life from the power of the dogs.
