22:1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning. |
22:2 O my God, I cry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I have no rest. |
22:3 Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel. |
22:4 In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them. |
22:5 To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed. |
22:6 But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. |
22:7 All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, {saying,} |
22:8 "Commit {yourself} to the LORD; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him." |
22:9 Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust {when} upon my mother's breasts. |
22:10 Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb. |
22:11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help. |
22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong {bulls} of Bashan have encircled me. |
22:13 They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion. |
22:14 I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. |
22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death. |
22:16 For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. |
22:17 I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; |
22:18 They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots. |
22:19 But You, O LORD, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance. |
22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword, My only {life} from the power of the dog. |
22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me. |
22:22 I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. |
22:23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. |
22:24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard. |
22:25 From You {comes} my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him. |
22:26 The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the LORD. Let your heart live forever! |
22:27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the families of the nations will worship before You. |
22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S And He rules over the nations. |
22:29 All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive. |
22:30 Posterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to the {coming} generation. |
22:31 They will come and will declare His righteousness To a people who will be born, that He has performed {it.} |
