16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
^aThey¹ pierced My hands and My feet; ‡

17 I can count all My bones.
^aThey look and stare at Me. ‡

19 But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

20 Deliver Me from the sword,
^aMy¹ precious life from the power of the dog. ‡
