Psalm 22:10-20 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
10
From birth1 I was cast upon you; from my mother's womb you have been my God.
11
Do not be far from me,2 for trouble is near3 and there is no one to help.4
12
Many bulls5 surround me;6 strong bulls of Bashan7 encircle me.
13
Roaring lions8 tearing their prey9 open their mouths wide10 against me.
14
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint.11 My heart has turned to wax;12 it has melted away13 within me.
15
My strength is dried up like a potsherd,14 and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;15 you lay mea in the dust16 of death.
16
Dogs17 have surrounded me; a band of evil men has encircled me, they have piercedb18 my hands and my feet.
17
I can count all my bones; people stare19 and gloat over me.20
18
They divide my garments among them and cast lots21 for my clothing.22
19
But you, O LORD, be not far off;23 O my Strength,24 come quickly25 to help me.26
20
Deliver my life from the sword,27 my precious life28 from the power of the dogs.29
