Psalm 22:6-18

New American Standard Bible

⁶ But I am a ^(A)worm and not a person,
A ^(B)disgrace of mankind and ^(C)despised by the people.
⁷ All who see me ^(D)deride me;
They ^[a]sneer, they ^(E)shake their heads, saying,
⁸ “^[b]Turn ^[c]him over to the Lord; ^(F)let Him save him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

⁹ Yet You are He who ^(G)brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
¹⁰ I was cast upon You ^(H)from ^[d]birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

^11 (I)Do not be far from me, for ^[e]trouble is near;
For there is ^(J)no one to help.
¹² Many ^(K)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of ^(L)Bashan have encircled me.
¹³ They ^(M)open their mouths wide at me,
As a ravening and roaring ^(N)lion.
¹⁴ I am ^(O)poured out like water,
And all my ^(P)bones are out of joint;
My ^(Q)heart is like wax;
It is melted within ^[f]me.
¹⁵ My ^(R)strength is dried up like a piece of pottery,
And ^(S)my tongue clings to my jaws;
And You ^(T)lay me ^[g]in the dust of death.
¹⁶ For ^(U)dogs have surrounded me;
^[h]A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
^[i]They ^(V)pierced my hands and my feet.
¹⁷ I can count all my bones.
^(W)They look, they stare at me;
¹⁸ They ^(X)divide my garments among them,
And they cast lots for my clothing.
