Psalm 22:1-31 MEV

[1] My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from delivering me, and from my roaring words of distress? [2] O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer; and at night, but I have no rest. [3] But You are holy, O You who inhabits the praises of Israel. [4] Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You did deliver them. [5] They cried to You and were delivered; they trusted in You and were not put to shame. [6] But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men and despised by the people. [7] All who see me laugh me to scorn; they sneer with the lip, they shake the head, saying, [8] "Trust in the LORD, let Him deliver him; let Him rescue him, seeing He delights in him." [9] But You are He who took me out of the womb; You caused me to trust while I was on my mother's breasts. [10] I was cast on You from birth; You are my God from my mother's womb. [11] Be not far from me for trouble is near, for there is none to help. [12] Many bulls encircle me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me. [13] They open their mouths against me, as a preying and 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 inside my body. [15] My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and You have set me toward the dust of death. [16] For dogs have encompassed me; the assembly of the wicked has enclosed me; like a lion they pin my hands and my feet; [17] I can count all my bones; they look and stare on me. [18] They part my garments among them and cast lots for my clothes. [19] But do not be far from me, O LORD; O my Help, hasten to my aid. [20] Rescue my soul from the sword, my only life from the power of the dog. [21] Save me from the lion's mouth, and from the horns of the wild ox, answer me! [22] I will declare Your name to my community; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. [23] You who fear the LORD, praise Him; all you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, and stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. [24] For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He hid His face from him; but when he cried to Him, He heard. [25] From You my praise will be in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before those who fear Him. [26] The meek will eat and be satisfied; those who seek Him will praise the LORD. May your hearts live forever. [27] All the ends of the world will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. [28] For kingship belongs to the LORD, and He rules among the nations. [29] All the prosperous ones of the earth will eat and worship; all who go down to the dust will bow before Him, even he who cannot keep his own soul alive. [30] Posterity will serve Him; it will be told to generations about the Lord; [31] they will come and declare His righteousness to a people yet to be born, that He has acted.
