Psalm 22

¹My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
²O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
³But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
⁴Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
⁵They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
⁶But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
⁷All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
⁸He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
⁹But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
¹⁰I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
¹¹Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
¹²Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
¹³They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
¹⁴I 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.
¹⁵My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
¹⁶For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
¹⁷I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
¹⁸They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
¹⁹But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
²⁰Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
²¹Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
²²I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
²³Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
²⁴For 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.
²⁵My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
²⁶The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
²⁷All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
²⁸For the kingdom is the Lord’s: and he is the governor among the nations.
²⁹All 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.
³⁰A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
³¹They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

⁸Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
⁹In mine ears said the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
¹⁰Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
¹¹Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
¹²And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.
¹³Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
¹⁴Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
¹⁵And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
¹⁶But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
¹⁷Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
¹⁸Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
¹⁹That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
²⁰Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
²¹Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
²²Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
²³Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
²⁴Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
²⁵Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
²⁶And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
²⁷None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
²⁸Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses’ hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
²⁹Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.

2And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
²And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
³And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
⁴And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
⁵When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
⁶But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
⁷Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
⁸And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
⁹Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
¹⁰But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
¹¹I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
¹²And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
