Psalms 22:9-17

⁹But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

¹⁰I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.

¹¹Be not far from me; for trouble is near; For there is none to help.

¹²Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

¹³They gape upon me with their mouth, As a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹⁴I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.

¹⁵My strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

¹⁶For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

¹⁷I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me;
