Psalm 22:11-21

Amplified Bible

¹¹ 
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near;
And there is no one to help.
¹² 
Many [enemies like] bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.^(A)
13 
They open wide their mouths against me,
Like a ravening and a roaring lion.
¹⁴ 
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
It is melted [by anguish] within me.
¹⁵ 
My strength is dried up like a fragment of clay pottery;
And my [dry] tongue clings to my jaws;
And You have laid me in the dust of death.^(B)
16 
For [a pack of] dogs have surrounded me;
A gang of evildoers has encircled me,
They pierced my hands and my feet.^(C)
17 
I can count all my bones;
They look, they stare at me.^(D)
18 
They divide my clothing among them
And cast lots for my ^[a]garment.^(E)

¹⁹ 
But You, O Lord, do not be far from me;
O You my help, come quickly to my assistance.
²⁰ 
Rescue my life from the sword,
My only life from the paw of the dog (the executioner).
²¹ 
Save me from the lion’s mouth;
From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.
