Psalms, Psalm 22,  verses 1-2, 2-18

1 a Or Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?Far from my deliverance are the words of myb Lit roaringgroaning.
2 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, butc Lit there is no silence for meI have no rest.
3 Yet You are holy,
O You whod Or inhabit the praisesare enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
4 In You our fathers trusted;
They trusted and You delivered them.
5 To You they cried out and were delivered;
In You they trusted and were note Or ashameddisappointed.
6 But I am a worm and not a man,
A reproach of men and despised by the people.
7 All who see mef Or mock mesneer at me;
Theyg I.e. make mouths at meseparate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
8 “h Lit Roll; another reading is He committed himselfCommit yourself to the LORD; let Him deliver 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 Upon You I was cast fromi Lit a wombbirth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.
11 Be not far from me, forj Or distresstrouble is near;
For there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13 They open wide their mouth at me,
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 withink Lit my inward partsme.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You lay mel Lit toin the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded me;
m Or An assemblyA band of evildoers has encompassed me;
n Another reading is Like a lion, my...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 for my clothing they cast lots.
