Psalm 22:1-31 NASB

[1] My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my help are the words of my groaning. [2] My God, I cry out by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. [3] Yet You are holy, You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. [4] In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You rescued them. [5] To You they cried out and they fled to safety; In You they trusted and were not disappointed. [6] But I am a worm and not a person, A disgrace of mankind and despised by the people. [7] All who see me deride me; They sneer, they shake their heads, saying, [8] “Turn him over to the Lord; let Him save him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.” [9] Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts. [10] I was cast upon You from birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb. [11] Do not be far from me, for trouble is near; For there is no one to help. [12] Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. [13] They open their mouths wide at me, As a ravening 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 within me. [15] My strength is dried up like a piece of pottery, And my tongue clings to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death. [16] For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. [17] I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; [18] They divide my garments among them, And they cast lots for my clothing. [19] But You, Lord, do not be far away; You who are my help, hurry to my assistance. [20] Save my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog. [21] Save me from the lion’s mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me. [22] I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; In the midst of the assembly 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 scorned the suffering of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard. [25] From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him. [26] The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the Lord. May your heart live forever! [27] All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations will worship before You. [28] For the kingdom is the Lord’s And He rules over the nations. [29] All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will kneel before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive. [30] A posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the coming generation. [31] They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed it.
