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.

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.

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.

¹⁷Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above? I shall not be remembered among so many people: for what is my soul among such an infinite number of creatures?
¹⁸Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the deep, and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be moved when he shall visit.
¹⁹The mountains also and foundations of the earth be shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh upon them.
²⁰No heart can think upon these things worthily: and who is able to conceive his ways?
²¹It is a tempest which no man can see: for the most part of his works are hid.
²²Who can declare the works of his justice? or who can endure them? for his covenant is afar off, and the trial of all things is in the end.
²³He that wanteth understanding will think upon vain things: and a foolish man erring imagineth follies.
²⁴My son, hearken unto me, and learn knowledge, and mark my words with thy heart.
²⁵I will shew forth doctrine in weight, and declare his knowledge exactly.
²⁶The works of the Lord are done in judgment from the beginning: and from the time he made them he disposed the parts thereof.

²⁸None of them hindereth another, and they shall never disobey his word.
