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.

³⁰And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
³¹And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
³²And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
³³And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
³⁴And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king’s daughter.
³⁵And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
³⁶Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
³⁷And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

4I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
²Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
³For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
⁴And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
⁵But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
⁶For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
⁷I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
⁸Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
