LITV - Psalms - 22

22:1  To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me, and are far from my deliverance, from the words of my groaning?

22:2  O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; and in the night, and there is no silence to me.

22:3  But You are holy, being enthroned on Israel's praises.

22:4  Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them.

22:5  They cried to You, and were delivered; they trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

22:6  But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of mankind, and despised by the people.

22:7  All who see Me scornfully laugh at me; they open the lip; they shake the head, saying ,

22:8  He rolled on Jehovah, let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him.

22:9  For You are He , my Taker from the womb; causing me to trust on My mother's breasts.

22:10  I was cast on You from the womb, from My mother's belly, You are my God.

22:11  Be not far from Me; for trouble is near; because no one is there to help.

22:12  Many bulls have circled around Me; strong bulls of Bashan have surrounded Me.

22:13  They opened their mouth on Me, like a lion ripping and roaring.

22:14  I am poured out like waters, and all My bones are spread apart; My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels.

22:15  My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue clings to My jaws;

22:16  and You appoint Me to the dust of death; for dogs have encircled Me; band of spoilers have hemmed Me in, piercers of My hands and My feet.

22:17  I count all My bones; they look, they stare at Me.

22:18  They divide My garments among them, and they made fall a lot for My clothing.

22:19  But You, O Jehovah, be not far off; O My Strength, hurry to help Me!

22:20  Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the paw of the dog.

22:21  Save Me from the lion's mouth; and from the horns of the wild oxen. You have answered Me.

22:22  I will declare Your name to My brothers; I will praise You in the midst of the assembly.

22:23  You who fear Jehovah, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and all the seed of Israel, fear Him.

22:24  For He has not despised nor hated the affliction of the afflicted; and He has not hidden His face from him, but when He cried to Him, He heard.

22:25  My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay my vows before His fearers.

22:26  The meek shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek Jehovah shall praise Him; your heart shall live forever.

22:27  All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn back to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.

22:28  For the kingdom is Jehovah's; and He is the ruler among the nations.

22:29  All the fat ones of the earth have eaten, and have worshiped; all those going down to the dust shall bow before Him; and he kept not his own soul alive.

22:30  A seed shall serve Him; it shall be spoken of the Lord to the coming generation;

22:31  they shall come and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born; for He has done it.
