Psalms 22:17-28

¹⁷I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.

¹⁸They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.

¹⁹But don’t be far off, LORD. You are my help. Hurry to help me!

²⁰Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.

²¹Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen.

²²I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.

²³You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!

²⁴For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

²⁵My praise of you comes in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.

²⁶The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.

²⁷All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.

²⁸For the kingdom is the LORD’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
