Psalms 22:12-25 in English

¹² Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹³ They gape upon me with their mouth, As a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.

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 For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁹ But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.

¹⁵ My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.

¹⁶ Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.

¹⁷ I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:

¹⁵ My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.

¹⁷ I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

¹² Many calves encompassed me; fat bulls besieged me.

¹³ They opened their mouth on me; as a lion ravishing and roaring.

¹⁴ I am poured out as water; and all my bones be scattered. Mine heart is made, as wax floating abroad or melting; in the midst of my womb.

¹⁵ My virtue dried as a tilestone, and my tongue cleaved to my cheeks; and thou hast brought forth me into the dust of death.

¹⁶ For many dogs encompassed me; the council of wicked men besieged me. They delved mine hands and my feet;

¹⁷ they numbered all my bones. Soothly they looked, and beheld me;

¹⁸ they parted my clothes to them-selves, and they sent lot on my cloth.

¹⁹ But thou, Lord, delay not thine help from me; behold thou to my defence.

²⁰ God, deliver thou my life from sword; and deliver thou mine one alone from the hand, or power, of the dog.

¹⁸ they parted my clothes to themselves, and they sent lot on my cloth. (then they parted my clothes among themselves, and they cast lots for my cloak.)

²⁴ for he forsook not, neither despised the prayer of a poor man. Neither he turned away his face from me; and when I cried to him, he heard me. (for he forsook not, nor despised the prayer of the poor man. Nor hath he turned his face away from him; but when he cried to him, he answered him.)

¹² Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,

¹³ They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.

¹⁴ As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

¹⁵ Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

¹⁶ And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

¹⁷ I count all my bones — they look expectingly, They look upon me,

¹⁸ They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.

¹⁹ And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.

²⁰ Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

²¹ Save me from the mouth of a lion: — And — from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

²⁵ Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.
