Psalms 22:11-21
11
Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.
12
Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13
Roaring lions tearing their prey
open their mouths wide against me.
14
I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted away within me.
15
My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death.
16
Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced my hands and my feet.
17
I can count all my bones;
people stare and gloat over me.
18
They divide my garments among them
and cast lots for my clothing.
19
But you, O Lord, be not far off;
O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
20
Deliver my life from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21
Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
