Psalms 22
1My 2 Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning? 1
2My 2 in the night season, and am not silent. 1
3But 2 you who inhabit the praises of Israel. 1
4Our 2 They trusted, and you delivered them. 1
5They cried to you, and were delivered 2 They trusted in you, and were not disappointed. 1
6But 2 a reproach of men, and despised by the people. 1
7All those who 2 They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying, 2
8“ He 2 Let him deliver him. 2 Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.” 1
9But 2 You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts. 1
10I 2 You are my God since my mother bore me. 1
11Don’t be far 2 For there is no one to help. 1
12Many bulls have 2 Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. 1
13They open their 2 lions tearing prey and roaring. 1
14I 2 All my bones are out of joint. 1 My heart is like wax. 2 It is melted within me. 1
15My 2 My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. 1 You have brought me into the dust of death. 1
16For 2 A company of evildoers have enclosed me. 2 They have pierced my hands and feet. + 22:16 So Dead Sea Scrolls. Masoretic Text reads, “Like a lion, they pin my hands and feet.” 1
17I 1 They look and stare at me. 1
18They 2 They cast lots for my clothing. 1
19But 2 You are my help. Hurry to help me! 1
20Deliver my 2 my precious life from the power of the dog. 1
21Save 2 Yes, you have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen. 1
22I will 2 Among the assembly, I will praise you. 1
23You 2 All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! 2 Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel! 1
24For 2 neither has he hidden his face from him; 2 but when he cried to him, he heard. 1
25My 2 I will pay my vows before those who fear him. 1
26The 2 They shall praise the LORD who seek after him. 2 Let your hearts live forever. 1
27All 2 All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you. 1
28For 2 He is the ruler over the nations. 1
29All 2 All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him, 2 even he who can’t keep his soul alive. 1
30Posterity shall 2 Future generations shall be told about the Lord. 1
31They 2 for he has done it.
