Psa 22:12

Psa 22:12Many bulls encompass me, strong bulls of Bashan surround me;

Psa 22:13

Psa 22:13they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and 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 within my breast;

Psa 22:15

Psa 22:15my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; thou dost lay me in the dust of death.

Psa 22:16

Psa 22:16Yea, dogs are round about me; a company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and feet--

Psa 22:17

Psa 22:17I can count all my bones-- they stare and gloat over me;

Psa 22:18

Psa 22:18they divide my garments among them, and for my raiment they cast lots.

Psa 22:19

Psa 22:19But thou, O LORD, be not far off! O thou my help, hasten to my aid!

Psa 22:20Deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the power of the dog!

Psa 22:21

Psa 22:21Save me from the mouth of the lion, my afflicted soul from the horns of the wild oxen!

Psa 22:22

Psa 22:22I will tell of thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee:

Psa 22:23

Psa 22:23You who fear the LORD, praise him! all you sons of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you sons of Israel!

Psa 22:24

Psa 22:24For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; and he has not hid his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him.

Psa 22:25

Psa 22:25From thee comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him.

Psa 22:30Posterity shall serve him; men shall tell of the Lord to the coming generation,
