Psalm 22:11-17

New American Standard Bible

^11 (A)Do not be far from me, for ^[a]trouble is near;
For there is ^(B)no one to help.
¹² Many ^(C)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of ^(D)Bashan have encircled me.
¹³ They ^(E)open their mouths wide at me,
As a ravening and roaring ^(F)lion.
¹⁴ I am ^(G)poured out like water,
And all my ^(H)bones are out of joint;
My ^(I)heart is like wax;
It is melted within ^[b]me.
¹⁵ My ^(J)strength is dried up like a piece of pottery,
And ^(K)my tongue clings to my jaws;
And You ^(L)lay me ^[c]in the dust of death.
¹⁶ For ^(M)dogs have surrounded me;
^[d]A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
^[e]They ^(N)pierced my hands and my feet.
¹⁷ I can count all my bones.
^(O)They look, they stare at me;
