Psalm 22
International Children’s Bible
The Prayer of a Suffering Man
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of Dawn.” A song of David.
22 My God, my God, why have you left me alone?
You are too far away to save me.
You are too far away to hear my moans.
2 My God, I call to you during the day.
But you do not answer.
And I call at night.
I am not silent.
3 You sit as the Holy One.
The praises of Israel are your throne.
4 Our ancestors trusted you.
They trusted you, and you saved them.
5 They called to you for help.
And they were rescued.
They trusted you.
And they were not disappointed.
6 But I am like a worm instead of a man.
Men make fun of me.
They look down on me.
7 Everyone who looks at me laughs.
They stick out their tongues.
They shake their heads.
8 They say, “Turn to the Lord for help.
Maybe he will save you.
If he likes you,
maybe he will rescue you.”
9 You had my mother give birth to me.
You made me trust you
while I was just a baby.
10 I have leaned on you since the day I was born.
You have been my God since my mother gave birth to me.
11 So don’t be far away from me.
Now trouble is near,
and there is no one to help.
12 Men have surrounded me like angry bulls.
The strong bulls of Bashan are on every side.
13 Like hungry, roaring lions
they open their jaws at me.
14 My strength is gone
like water poured out onto the ground.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax.
It has melted inside me.
15 My strength has dried up like a piece of a broken pot.
My tongue sticks to the top of my mouth.
You laid me in the dust of death.
16 Evil men have surrounded me.
Like dogs they have trapped me.
They have bitten my arms and legs.
17 I can count all my bones.
People look and stare at me.
18 They divided my clothes among them,
and they threw lots for my clothing.
19 But, Lord, don’t be far away.
You are my power. Hurry to help me.
20 Save me from the sword.
Save my life from the dogs.
21 Rescue me from the lion’s mouth.
Save me from the horns of the bulls.
22 Then I will tell my brothers and sisters about you.
I will praise you when your people meet to worship you.
23 Praise the Lord, all you who worship him.
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him.
Fear him, all you Israelites.
24 The Lord does not ignore
the one who is in trouble.
He doesn’t hide from him.
He listens when the one in trouble calls out to him.
25 Lord, I praise you in the great meeting of your people.
These worshipers will see me do what I promised.
26 Poor people will eat until they are full.
Those who look to the Lord will praise him.
May your hearts live forever!
27 People everywhere will remember
and will turn to the Lord.
All the families of the nations
will worship him.
28 This is because the Lord is King.
He rules the nations.
29 All the powerful people on earth will eat and worship.
Everyone will bow down to him.
30 The people in the future will serve him.
They will always be told about the Lord.
31 They will tell that he does what is right.
People who are not yet born
will hear what God has done.

Az igaz ember szenvedése és szabadulása
22 A karmesternek: "A hajnali szarvas" kezdetű ének dallamára. Dávid zsoltára.
2 Én Istenem, én Istenem, miért hagytál el? Távol van tőlem a segítség, pedig jajgatva kiáltok!
3 Istenem! Hívlak nappal, de nem válaszolsz, éjszaka is, de nem tudok elcsendesedni.
4 Pedig te szent vagy, trónodon ülsz, rólad szólnak Izráel dicséretei.
5 Benned bíztak őseink, bíztak, és megmentetted őket.
6 Hozzád kiáltottak segítségért, és megmenekültek, benned bíztak, és nem szégyenültek meg.
7 De én féreg vagyok, nem ember, gyaláznak az emberek, és megvet a nép.
8 Gúnyolódnak rajtam mind, akik látnak, ajkukat biggyesztik, fejüket csóválják:
9 Az Úrra bízta magát, mentse hát meg őt, szabadítsa meg, hiszen kedvelte!
10 Te hoztál ki engem anyám méhéből, biztonságba helyeztél anyám emlőin.
11 Már anyám ölében is rád voltam utalva, anyám méhében is te voltál Istenem.
12 Ne légy tőlem távol, mert közel van a baj, és nincs, aki segítsen!
13 Hatalmas bikák vettek körül, bekerítettek a básáni bivalyok.
14 Föltátották rám szájukat, mint a marcangoló, ordító oroszlán.
15 Szétfolytam, mint a víz, kificamodtak a csontjaim. Szívem, mint a viasz, megolvadt bensőmben.
16 Torkom kiszáradt, mint a cserép, nyelvem az ínyemhez tapadt, a halál porába fektettél.
17 Mert kutyák vettek körül engem, gonoszok bandája kerített be, átlyukasztották kezemet, lábamat.
18 Megszámlálhatnám minden csontomat, ők pedig csak bámulnak, néznek rám.
19 Megosztoznak ruháimon, köntösömre sorsot vetnek.
20 Ó, Uram, ne légy távol, erősségem, siess segítségemre!
21 Ments meg engem a fegyvertől, életemet a kutyák hatalmából!
22 Szabadíts meg az oroszlán szájából, és a bivalyok szarvai közül, engem, nyomorultat!
23 Hirdetem nevedet testvéreimnek, dicsérlek a gyülekezetben.
24 Kik az Urat félitek, dicsérjétek őt, Jákób utódai, mind dicsőítsétek őt! Rettegjetek tőle Izráel utódai mind!
25 Mert nem veti meg, és nem utálja a nyomorult nyomorúságát, nem rejti el orcáját előle, segélykiáltását meghallgatja.
26 Rólad szól dicséretem a nagy gyülekezetben, teljesítem fogadalmaimat az istenfélők előtt.
27 Esznek az alázatosak, és jóllaknak, dicsérik az Urat, akik őt keresik. Szívetek legyen vidám mindenkor!
28 A föld határáig mindenkinek eszébe jut az Úr, és megtérnek hozzá, leborul előtte mindenféle nép.
29 Mert az Úré a királyi hatalom, ő uralkodik a népeken.
30 Csak előtte borulnak le a földi hatalmasságok, térdet hajt előtte minden halandó, aki nem tudja életét megtartani.
31 Az utódok szolgálják őt, beszélnek az Úrról a jövő nemzedéknek.
32 Jönnek, és a születendő népnek hirdetik majd, hogy igaz, amit ő tesz.

Psalm 22[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David.
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?(A)
Why are you so far(B) from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?(C)
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,(D)
by night,(E) but I find no rest.[b]
3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;(F)
you are the one Israel praises.[c](G)
4 In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.(H)
5 To you they cried out(I) and were saved;
in you they trusted(J) and were not put to shame.(K)
6 But I am a worm(L) and not a man,
scorned by everyone,(M) despised(N) by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;(O)
they hurl insults,(P) shaking their heads.(Q)
8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
“let the Lord rescue him.(R)
Let him deliver him,(S)
since he delights(T) in him.”
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;(U)
you made me trust(V) in you, even at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth(W) I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
12 Many bulls(AA) surround me;(AB)
strong bulls of Bashan(AC) encircle me.
13 Roaring lions(AD) that tear their prey(AE)
open their mouths wide(AF) against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.(AG)
My heart has turned to wax;(AH)
it has melted(AI) within me.
15 My mouth[d] is dried up like a potsherd,(AJ)
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;(AK)
you lay me in the dust(AL) of death.
16 Dogs(AM) surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce[e](AN) my hands and my feet.
17 All my bones are on display;
people stare(AO) and gloat over me.(AP)
18 They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots(AQ) for my garment.(AR)
19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me.(AS)
You are my strength;(AT) come quickly(AU) to help me.(AV)
20 Deliver me from the sword,(AW)
my precious life(AX) from the power of the dogs.(AY)
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;(AZ)
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.(BA)
22 I will declare your name to my people;
in the assembly(BB) I will praise you.(BC)
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!(BD)
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!(BE)
Revere him,(BF) all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despised(BG) or scorned
the suffering of the afflicted one;(BH)
he has not hidden his face(BI) from him
but has listened to his cry for help.(BJ)
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;(BK)
before those who fear you[f] I will fulfill my vows.(BL)
26 The poor will eat(BM) and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise him—(BN)
may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth(BO)
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,(BP)
28 for dominion belongs to the Lord(BQ)
and he rules over the nations.
29 All the rich(BR) of the earth will feast and worship;(BS)
all who go down to the dust(BT) will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.(BU)
30 Posterity(BV) will serve him;
future generations(BW) will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness,(BX)
declaring to a people yet unborn:(BY)
He has done it!(BZ)
