Psa 22:10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

Psa 22:11

Psa 22:11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.

Psa 22:12

Psa 22:12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

Psa 22:13

Psa 22:13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

Psa 22:14

Psa 22:14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

Psa 22:15

Psa 22:15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

Psa 22:16

Psa 22:16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

Psa 22:17

Psa 22:17I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

Psa 22:18

Psa 22:18They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

Psa 22:19

Psa 22:19But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

Psa 22:20

Psa 22:20Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

Psa 22:21

Psa 22:21Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Psa 22:22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

Psa 22:23

Psa 22:23Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

Psa 22:24

Psa 22:24For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
