(Ps. 22:1-31) To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?  ² O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.  ³ Yet you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.  ⁴ In you our fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them.  ⁵ To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.  ⁶ But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people.  ⁷ All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;  ⁸ “He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”  ⁹ Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother’s breasts.  ¹⁰ On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God.  ¹¹ Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.  ¹² Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;  ¹³ they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and 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 within my breast;  ¹⁵ my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.  ¹⁶ For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet–  ¹⁷ I can count all my bones– they stare and gloat over me;  ¹⁸ they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.  ¹⁹ But you, O LORD, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid!  ²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog!  ²¹ Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!  ²² I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:  ²³ You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!  ²⁴ For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him.  ²⁵ From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him.  ²⁶ The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the LORD! May your hearts live forever!  ²⁷ All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you.  ²⁸ For kingship belongs to the LORD, and he rules over the nations.  ²⁹ All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.  ³⁰ Posterity shall serve him; it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;  ³¹ they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn, that he has done it.
