Chapter 22
|
1
|
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art
thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my
roaring? |
2
|
O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not;
and in the night season, and 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 of the people. |
7
|
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot
out the lip, they shake the head, saying, |
8
|
He trusted on 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: strong bulls of Bashan
have beset me round. |
13
|
They gaped upon 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 bowels. |
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 compassed me: the assembly of the wicked
have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. |
17
|
I may tell 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 not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength,
haste thee to help me. |
20
|
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling 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 be fat upon earth shall eat and worship:
all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him:
and 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. |
