12Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.
14I am poured out like water. 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. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
16For dogs have surrounded me. A company of villains have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
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, Adonai . 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, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
22I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.
23You who fear Adonai , praise him! All you descendants of Jacob Supplanter, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel God prevails!
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 sh'ma ·heard obeyed·.
25Of you comes my tehilah ·praise song· in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Adonai who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Adonai . All the relatives of the nations shall hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before you.
28For the kingdom is Adonai ’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
