Psalms 22:19-31

¹⁹Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.

²⁰Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.

²¹Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.

²²I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.

²³You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.

²⁴For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.

²⁵My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.

²⁶The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.

²⁷All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.

²⁸For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.

²⁹All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.

³⁰A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.

³¹They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.
