Psalm 22:19-31

English Standard Version

¹⁹ But you, O Lord, ^(A)do not be far off!
    O you my help, ^(B)come quickly to my aid!
²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword,
    my precious life from the power of ^(C)the dog!
²¹     Save me from ^(D)the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued^[a] me from the horns of ^(E)the wild oxen!

^22 (F)I will tell of your name to my ^(G)brothers;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
²³ You who ^(H)fear the Lord, praise him!
    All you offspring of Jacob, ^(I)glorify him,
    and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
²⁴ For he has not despised or abhorred
    the affliction of ^(J)the afflicted,
and he has not ^(K)hidden his face from him,
    but has heard, when he ^(L)cried to him.

²⁵ From you comes my praise in the great ^(M)congregation;
    my ^(N)vows I will ^(O)perform before those who fear him.
^26 (P)The afflicted^[b] shall ^(Q)eat and be satisfied;
    those who seek him shall praise the Lord!
    May your hearts ^(R)live forever!

²⁷ All ^(S)the ends of the earth shall remember
    and turn to the Lord,
and all ^(T)the families of the nations
    shall worship before you.
²⁸ For ^(U)kingship belongs to the Lord,
    and he rules over the nations.

²⁹ All ^(V)the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;
    before him shall ^(W)bow all who go down to the dust,
    even the one who could not ^(X)keep himself alive.
³⁰ Posterity shall serve him;
    it shall be told of the Lord to the coming ^(Y)generation;
³¹ they shall ^(Z)come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet ^(AA)unborn,
    that he has done it.
