Psalms 22:21

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.

21 ^aSave Me from the lion’s mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!
^bYou have answered Me.

22 ^aI will declare Your name to ^bMy brethren;
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.

23 ^aYou who fear the Lord, praise Him!
All you¹ descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!

24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
But ^awhen He cried to Him, He heard.

25 ^aMy praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
^bI will pay My vows before those who fear Him.

26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
Let your heart live forever!
