Psalms 22:6-23

⁶But I am a worm and not a man, a disgrace to humanity and despised by the people.

⁷All those who see me taunt me; they mock me; they shake their heads at me.

⁸They say, “He trusts in Yahweh; let Yahweh rescue him. Let him rescue him, for he delights in him.”

⁹For you brought me from the womb; you made me trust you when I was on my mother's breasts.

¹⁰I have been thrown on you from the womb; you are my God since I was in my mother's womb!

¹¹Do not be far away from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to help.

¹²Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me.

¹³They open their mouths wide against me like a roaring lion ripping its victim.

¹⁴I am being poured out like water, and all my bones are dislocated. My heart is like wax; it melts away within my inner parts.

¹⁵My strength has dried up like a piece of pottery; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust of death.

¹⁶For dogs have surrounded me; a company of evildoers has encircled me; they have pierced my hands and my feet.

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

¹⁸They divide my garments among themselves, they cast lots for my clothes.

¹⁹Do not be far away, Yahweh; please hurry to help me, my strength!

²⁰Rescue my soul from the sword, my only life from the claws of wild dogs.

²¹Save me from the lion's mouth; rescue me from the horns of the wild oxen.

²²I will declare your name to my brothers; in the midst of the assembly I will praise you.

²³You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
