14 I am poured out like water,
    and all my bones are out of joint.(A)
My heart has turned to wax;(B)

    and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;(E)
    you lay me in the dust(F) of death.

18 They divide my clothes among them
    and cast lots(K) for my garment.(L)

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
