Psalms 22
Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for
David.
O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me?
Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear:
and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in
me.
But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and
thou hast delivered them.
They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted
in thee, and were not confounded.
But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and
the outcast of the people.
All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they
have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save
him, seeing he delighteth in him.
For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb:
my hope from the breasts of my mother.
I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's
womb thou art my God,
depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for
there is none to help me.
Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged
me.
They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion
ravening and roaring.
I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered.
My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of
my bowels.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue
hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down
into the dust of death.
For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the
malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and
feet.
They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked
and stared upon me.
They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture
they cast lots.
But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance
from me; look towards my defence.
Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one
from the hand of the dog.
Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the
horns of the unicorns.
I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst
of the church will I praise thee.
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of
Jacob, glorify him.
Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath
not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor
man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and
when I cried to him he heard me.
With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay
my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall
praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live
for ever and ever.
All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall
be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the
Gentiles shall adore in his sight.
For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he shall have dominion
over the nations.
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored:
all they that go down to the earth shall fall before
him.
And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve
him.
There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to
come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to
a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made. |
