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.
21Save me from the jaws of the lion, from the horns of the wild oxen help me.
22I will tell of your fame to my kindred, and in the assembly will praise you.
23Praise the Lord, you who fear him. All Jacob's seed, give him glory. All Israel's seed, stand in awe of him.
24For he has not despised nor abhorred the sorrow of the sorrowful. He hid not his face from me, but he listened to my cry for help.
25Of you is my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him.
26The afflicted will eat to their heart's desire, and those who seek after the Lord will praise him. Lift up your hearts forever.
27All will call it to mind, to the ends of the earth, and turn to the Lord; and all tribes of the nations will bow down before you.
28For the kingdom belongs to the Lord: he is the Lord of the nations.
29To him will bow down all who sleep in the earth, and before him bend all who go down to the dust, and those who could not preserve their lives.
30My descendants will tell of the Lord to the next generation;
