Psalms 22
David, as a type of the Messiah, prays. To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David.
1To the Chief Musician, on the deer of the dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me, and are far from My deliverance, from the words of My groaning?
2O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; and in the night, and there is no silence to Me.
3But You are holy, abiding on Israel's praises.
4Our fathers trusted in You; they trusted, and You delivered them.
5They cried to You, and slipped way; they trusted in You and were not ashamed.
6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of mankind, and despised by the people.
7All who see Me scornfully laugh at Me; they open the lip; they shake the head, saying,
8He rolled on Jehovah, let Him deliver Him; let Him rescue Him, since He delights in Him.
9For You are He who drew Me from the womb; causing me to trust on My mother's breasts.
10I was cast on You from the womb, from My mother's belly, You are My God.
11Be not far from Me; for trouble is near; because there is not one helping.
12Many bulls have circled around Me; strong bulls of Bashan have surrounded Me.
13They opened their mouth on Me, like a lion ripping and roaring.
14I am poured out like waters, and all My bones are spread apart; My heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of My bowels.
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and My tongue clings to My jaws, and You appoint Me to the dust of death
16For dogs have encircled Me; a band of doers of evil have hemmed Me in, piercing My hands and My feet.
17I count all My bones; they look, they stare at Me.
18They divide My garments among them, and they make fall a lot for My clothing.
19But You, O Jehovah, be not far off; O My Strength, hurry to help Me!
20Deliver My soul from the sword, My only one from the paw of the dog.
21Save Me from the lion's mouth, and from the horns of the wild oxen. You have answered Me.
22I will declare Your name to My brothers; I will praise You in the midst of the assembly.
23Those fearing Jehovah, praise Him; all the seed of Jacob, glorify Him; and all the seed of Israel, you fearing Him.
24For He has not despised and not detested the affliction of the afflicted one; and He has not hidden His face from Him, but when He cried to Him, He heard.
25My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay my vows before those fearing Him.
26The meek shall eat and be satisfied; those seeking Jehovah shall praise Him; your heart shall live forever.
27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn back to Jehovah; and all the families of the nations shall worship before You.
28For the kingdom is Jehovah's; and He is the ruler among the nations.
29All the fat ones of the earth have eaten, and have worshiped; all those going down to the dust shall bow before Him; and he kept not his own soul alive.
30A Seed shall serve Him; it shall be spoken of the Lord to the coming generation;
31they shall come and shall declare His righteousness to a people that shall yet be born; for He has done it.
