Geneva1599 - Psalms - 22

22:1  To him that excelleth upon Aiieleth Hasshahar. A Psalme of Dauid. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farre from mine health, and from the wordes of my roaring?

22:2  O my God, I crie by day, but thou hearest not, and by night, but haue no audience.

22:3  But thou art holy, and doest inhabite the prayses of Israel.

22:4  Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didest deliuer them.

22:5  They called vpon thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

22:6  But I am a worme, and not a man: a shame of men, and the contempt of the people.

22:7  All they that see me, haue me in derision: they make a mowe and nod the head, saying,

22:8  He trusted in the Lord, let him deliuer him: let him saue him, seeing he loueth him.

22:9  But thou didest draw me out of ye wombe: thou gauest me hope, euen at my mothers breasts.

22:10  I was cast vpon thee, euen from ye wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly.

22:11  Be not farre from me, because trouble is neere: for there is none to helpe me.

22:12  Many yong bulles haue compassed me: mightie bulles of Bashan haue closed me about.

22:13  They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as a ramping and roaring lyon.

22:14  I am like water powred out, and all my bones are out of ioynt: mine heart is like waxe: it is molten in the middes of my bowels.

22:15  My strength is dryed vp like a potsheard, and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes, and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

22:16  For dogges haue compassed me, and the assemblie of the wicked haue inclosed me: they perced mine hands and my feete.

22:17  I may tell all my bones: yet they beholde, and looke vpon me.

22:18  They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.

22:19  But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.

22:20  Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.

22:21  Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.

22:22  I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,

22:23  Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.

22:24  For he hath not despised nor abhorred ye affliction of the poore: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he called vnto him, he heard.

22:25  My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.

22:26  The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.

22:27  All the endes of the worlde shall remember themselues, and turne to the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

22:28  For the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.

22:29  All they that be fat in the earth, shall eate and worship: all they that go downe into the dust, shall bowe before him, euen he that cannot quicken his owne soule.

22:30  Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.

22:31  They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
