Psalms 22:16-30

¹⁶And 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.

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

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

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

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

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

²²I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

²³Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.

²⁴For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.

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

²⁶The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.

²⁷Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,

²⁸For to Jehovah is the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.

²⁹And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he who hath not revived his soul.

³⁰A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
