Psalms 22:12-30

¹²Many calves encompassed me; fat bulls besieged me.

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

¹⁴I 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

²¹Make thou me safe from the mouth of a lion; and my meekness from the horns of unicorns.

²²I shall tell thy name to my brethren; I shall praise thee in the midst of the church.

²³Ye that dread the Lord, praise him; all the seed of Jacob, glorify him. All the seed of Israel, dread him;

²⁴for 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.

²⁵My praising is with thee in a great church; I shall yield my vows in the sight of men dreading him.

²⁶Poor men shall eat, and shall be ful filled, and they shall praise the Lord, that seek him; the hearts of them shall live into the world of world.

²⁷All the ends of earth shall bethink; and shall be converted to the Lord. And all the meines of heathen men, shall worship in his sight.

²⁸For the realm is the Lord’s; and he shall be Lord of heathen men.

²⁹All the fat men of earth ate and worshipped; all men, that go down into earth, shall fall down in his sight. And my soul shall live to him;

³⁰and my seed shall serve him. A generation to coming shall be told to the Lord;
