Psalm 22:12-21 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
12
Many bulls1 surround me;2 strong bulls of Bashan3 encircle me.
13
Roaring lions4 tearing their prey5 open their mouths wide6 against me.
14
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint.7 My heart has turned to wax;8 it has melted away9 within me.
15
My strength is dried up like a potsherd,10 and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;11 you lay mea in the dust12 of death.
16
Dogs13 have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have piercedb14 my hands and my feet.
17
I can count all my bones; people stare15 and gloat over me.16
18
They divide my garments among them and cast lots17 for my clothing.18
19
But you, O LORD, be not far off;19 O my Strength,20 come quickly21 to help me.22
20
Deliver my life from the sword,23 my precious life24 from the power of the dogs.25
21
Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;26 savec me from the horns of the wild oxen.27
