Psalm 22:1-31 KJ21
[1] My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? Why art Thou so far from helping Me, and from the words of My groaning? [2] O My God, I cry in the daytime, but Thou hearest not; and in the night season I am not silent. [3] But Thou art holy, O Thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. [4] Our fathers trusted in Thee; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them. [5] They cried unto Thee and were delivered; they trusted in Thee and were not confounded. [6] But I am a worm and no man, a reproach of men and despised by the people. [7] All they that see Me laugh Me to scorn; they shoot out their lip, they shake their head, saying, [8] "He trusted in the LORD that He would deliver him; let Him deliver him, seeing He delighted in him!" [9] But Thou art He that took Me out of the womb; Thou didst make Me hope when I was upon My mother's breasts. [10] I was cast upon Thee from the womb; Thou art My God from My mother's belly. [11] Be not far from Me, for trouble is near; for there is none to help. [12] Many bulls have compassed Me about; strong bulls of Bashan have beset Me round. [13] They gaped at Me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. [14] I 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 body. [15] My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My tongue cleaveth to My jaws; and Thou hast brought Me into the dust of death. [16] For dogs have surrounded Me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed Me; they pierced My hands and My feet. [17] I can count all My bones; they look and stare upon Me. [18] They part My garments among them, and cast lots upon My vesture. [19] But be Thou not far from Me, O LORD; O My Strength, hasten Thee to help Me! [20] Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the power of the dog. [21] Save Me from the lion's mouth; for Thou hast heard Me from the horns of the unicorns. [22] I will declare Thy name unto My brethren; in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee. [23] Ye that fear the LORD, praise Him! All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and fear Him, all ye the seed of Israel. [24] For 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. [25] My praise shall be of Thee in the great congregation; I will pay My vows before them that fear Him. [26] The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise the LORD that seek Him. Your heart shall live for ever. [27] All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. [28] For the kingdom is the LORD'S, and He is the governor among the nations. [29] All they that are fat upon the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him, for none can keep alive his own soul. [30] A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. [31] They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that He hath done this.
