10I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother's belly.
11Be not far from me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12Many bulls have encompassed me; Bashan's strong ones have beset me round.
13They gape upon me with their mouth, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is become like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death.
16For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17I may count all my bones. They look, they stare upon me;
18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog;
21Save me from the lion's mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me.
22I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel.
