PSALMS 22:18-29

¹⁸They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast lots.

¹⁹But be not thou far off, O LORD: O thou my succour, haste thee to help me.

²⁰Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog;

²¹Save me from the lion’s mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.

²²I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

²³Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.

²⁴For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.

²⁵Of thee cometh my praise in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

²⁶The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek after him: let your heart live for ever.

²⁷All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

²⁸For the kingdom is the LORD’S: and he is the ruler over the nations.

²⁹All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, even he that cannot keep his soul alive.
