Psalms 22:17-25

¹⁷I am so weak and thin that my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and ◄gloat/are happy► about what has happened to me.

¹⁸They looked at the clothes that I was wearing and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.

¹⁹O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my source of strength, come quickly and help me!

²⁰Rescue me from those who want to kill me with their swords. Save me from those who are like wild/fierce dogs MET.

²¹Snatch me away from my enemies who are like lions whose jaws are already open, ready to chew me up Grab me away from those men who are like wild oxen that attack other animals with their horns MET!

²²But you have saved me, so I will declare to my fellow Israelis how great you MTY are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered together to worship you.

²³You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!

²⁴He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide ◄his face/himself► from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.

²⁵Yahweh, in the great gathering of your people, I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer the sacrifices that I promised.
