Psalms 22:12-31

¹²Many yong bulles haue compassed me: mightie bulles of Bashan haue closed me about.

¹³They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as a ramping and roaring lyon.

¹⁴I am like water powred out, and all my bones are out of ioynt: mine heart is like waxe: it is molten in the middes of my bowels.

¹⁵My strength is dryed vp like a potsheard, and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes, and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁶For dogges haue compassed me, and the assemblie of the wicked haue inclosed me: they perced mine hands and my feete.

¹⁷I may tell all my bones: yet they beholde, and looke vpon me.

¹⁸They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.

¹⁹But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.

²⁰Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.

²¹Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.

²²I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,

²³Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.

²⁴For he hath not despised nor abhorred ye affliction of the poore: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he called vnto him, he heard.

²⁵My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.

²⁶The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.

²⁷All the endes of the worlde shall remember themselues, and turne to the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

²⁸For the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.

²⁹All they that be fat in the earth, shall eate and worship: all they that go downe into the dust, shall bowe before him, euen he that cannot quicken his owne soule.

³⁰Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.

³¹They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
