Psalm 22:2-12
New King James Version
Psalm 22:2-12
New King James Version
2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
And in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But You are holy,
Enthroned in the (A)praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
5 They cried to You, and were delivered;
(B)They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
6 But I am (C)a worm, and no man;
(D)A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
7 (E)All those who see Me ridicule Me;
They [a]shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8 “He(F) [b]trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
(G)Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”
9 (H)But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
(I)You have been My God.
11 Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

Psalm 22:2-12
English Standard Version
2 O my God, I cry by (A)day, but you do not answer,
and by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet you are (B)holy,
(C)enthroned on (D)the praises[a] of Israel.
4 In you our fathers trusted;
they trusted, and you delivered them.
5 To you they (E)cried and were rescued;
in you they (F)trusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am (G)a worm and not a man,
(H)scorned by mankind and (I)despised by the people.
7 All who see me (J)mock me;
they make mouths at me; they (K)wag their heads;
8 (L)“He trusts in the Lord; let him (M)deliver him;
let him rescue him, for he (N)delights in him!”
9 Yet you are he who (O)took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
10 On you was I cast from my birth,
and from (P)my mother's womb you have been my God.
11 Be not (Q)far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is (R)none to help.

2 My God, I (A)cry out by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but [a]I have no rest.
3 Yet (B)You are holy,
You who [b]are enthroned upon (C)the praises of Israel.
4 In You our fathers (D)trusted;
They trusted and You (E)rescued them.
5 To You they cried out and they fled to safety;
(F)In You they trusted and were not [c]disappointed.
6 But I am a (G)worm and not a person,
A (H)disgrace of mankind and (I)despised by the people.
7 All who see me (J)deride me;
They [d]sneer, they (K)shake their heads, saying,
8 “[e]Turn [f]him over to the Lord; (L)let Him save him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”
9 Yet You are He who (M)brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon You (N)from [g]birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.
11 (O)Do not be far from me, for [h]trouble is near;
For there is (P)no one to help.
12 Many (Q)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of (R)Bashan have encircled me.
