Psalm 22 :: New English Translation (NET)

Psa 22:1

Psa 22:1My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I groan in prayer, but help seems far away.

Psa 22:5To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed.

Psa 22:6

Psa 22:6But I am a worm, not a man; people insult me and despise me.

Psa 22:7

Psa 22:7All who see me taunt me; they mock me and shake their heads.

Psa 22:8

Psa 22:8They say, "Commit yourself to the LORD! Let the LORD rescue him! Let the LORD deliver him, for he delights in him."

Psa 22:9

Psa 22:9Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb and made me feel secure on my mother's breasts.

Psa 22:10I have been dependent on you since birth; from the time I came out of my mother's womb you have been my God.

Psa 22:11

Psa 22:11Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.

Psa 22:12

Psa 22:12Many bulls surround me; powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in.

Psa 22:13

Psa 22:13They open their mouths to devour me like a roaring lion that rips its prey.

Psa 22:14

Psa 22:14My strength drains away like water; all my bones are dislocated; my heart is like wax; it melts away inside me.

Psa 22:15

Psa 22:15The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery; my tongue sticks to my gums. You set me in the dust of death.

Psa 22:16

Psa 22:16Yes, wild dogs surround me - a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they pin my hands and feet.

Psa 22:17

Psa 22:17I can count all my bones; my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.

Psa 22:18

Psa 22:18They are dividing up my clothes among themselves; they are rolling dice for my garments.

Psa 22:19

Psa 22:19But you, O LORD, do not remain far away! You are my source of strength! Hurry and help me!

Psa 22:20

Psa 22:20Deliver me from the sword! Save my life from the claws of the wild dogs!

Psa 22:21

Psa 22:21Rescue me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered me!

Psa 22:22

Psa 22:22I will declare your name to my countrymen! In the middle of the assembly I will praise you!

Psa 22:23

Psa 22:23You loyal followers of the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! All you descendants of Israel, stand in awe of him!

Psa 22:24

Psa 22:24For he did not despise or detest the suffering of the oppressed; he did not ignore him; when he cried out to him, he responded.

Psa 22:25

Psa 22:25You are the reason I offer praise in the great assembly; I will fulfill my promises before the LORD's loyal followers.

Psa 22:26

Psa 22:26Let the oppressed eat and be filled! Let those who seek his help praise the LORD! May you live forever!

Psa 22:27

Psa 22:27Let all the people of the earth acknowledge the LORD and turn to him! Let all the nations worship you!

Psa 22:28

Psa 22:28For the LORD is king and rules over the nations.

Psa 22:29

Psa 22:29All of the thriving people of the earth will join the celebration and worship; all those who are descending into the grave will bow before him, including those who cannot preserve their lives.

Psa 22:30

Psa 22:30A whole generation will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the sovereign Lord.

Psa 22:31

Psa 22:31They will come and tell about his saving deeds; they will tell a future generation what he has accomplished.
