Psalms 22:13-24

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 among 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.
