Psalms 22:17-27

17 All my bones can be seen. My enemies look at me and stare.
18 They gamble for my clothes 1 and divide them among themselves.
19 O Lord, don't stay away from me! Come quickly to my rescue!
20 Save me from the sword; save my life from these dogs.
21 Rescue me from these lions; I am helpless before these wild bulls.
22 I will tell my people what you have done; 2 I will praise you in their assembly:
23 "Praise him, you servants of the Lord! Honor him, you descendants of Jacob! Worship him, you people of Israel!
24 He does not neglect the poor or ignore their suffering; he does not turn away from them, but answers when they call for help."
25 In the full assembly I will praise you for what you have done; in the presence of those who worship you I will offer the sacrifices I promised.
26 The poor will eat as much as they want; those who come to the Lord will praise him. May they prosper forever!
27 All nations will remember the Lord. From every part of the world they will turn to him; all races will worship him.
