Psalms:22:1-31
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My God ,
my God ,
why hast thou forsaken me ?
why art thou so far from helping me ,
and from the words of my roaring ?
*
O my God ,
I cry in the daytime ,
but thou hearest not ;
and in the night season ,
and am not silent .
*
But thou art holy ,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel .
*
Our fathers trusted in thee :
they trusted ,
and thou didst deliver them .
*
They cried unto thee ,
and were delivered :
they trusted in thee ,
and were not confounded .
*
But I am a worm ,
and no man ;
a reproach of men ,
and despised of the people .
*
All they that see me laugh me to scorn :
they shoot out the lip ,
they shake the head ,
saying ,
*
He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him :
let him deliver him ,
seeing he delighted in him .
*
But thou art he that took me out of the womb :
thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother '
s breasts .
*
I was cast upon thee from the womb :
thou art my God from my mother '
s belly .
*
Be not far from me ;
for trouble is near ;
for there is none to help .
*
Many bulls have compassed me :
strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round .
*
They gaped upon me with their mouths ,
as a ravening and a roaring lion .
*
I am poured out like water ,
and all my bones are out of joint :
my heart is like wax ;
it is melted in the midst of my bowels .
*
My strength is dried up like a potsherd ;
and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws ;
and thou hast brought me into the dust of death .
*
For dogs have compassed me :
the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me :
they pierced my hands and my feet .
*
I may tell all my bones :
they look and stare upon me .
*
They part my garments among them ,
and cast lots upon my vesture .
*
But be not thou far from me ,
O LORD :
O my strength ,
haste thee to help me .
*
Deliver my soul from the sword ;
my darling from the power of the dog .
*
Save me from the lion '
s mouth :
for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns .
*
I will declare thy name unto my brethren :
in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee .
*
Ye that fear the LORD ,
praise him ;
all ye the seed of Jacob ,
glorify him ;
and fear him ,
all ye the seed of Israel .
*
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted ;
neither hath he hid his face from him ;
but when he cried unto him ,
he heard .
*
My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation :
I will pay my vows before them that fear him .
*
The meek shall eat and be satisfied :
they shall praise the LORD that seek him :
your heart shall live for ever .
*
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD :
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee .
*
For the kingdom is the LORD '
S :
and he is the governor among the nations .
*
All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship :
all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him :
and none can keep alive his own soul .
*
A seed shall serve him ;
it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation .
*
They shall come ,
and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born ,
that he hath done this .
