Chapter 22

1

 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. 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 to 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 by the people. 


7

 All they that see me deride me: 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 brought me forth into life: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts. 


10

 I was cast upon thee from my birth: thou art my God from the time I was born. 


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 number 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 to 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 to 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 to 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 are 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 to a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
