Psalm 22:14-31
New International Version
Psalm 22:14-31
New International Version
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.(A)
My heart has turned to wax;(B)
it has melted(C) within me.
15 My mouth[a] is dried up like a potsherd,(D)
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;(E)
you lay me in the dust(F) of death.
16 Dogs(G) surround me,
a pack of villains encircles me;
they pierce[b](H) my hands and my feet.
17 All my bones are on display;
people stare(I) and gloat over me.(J)
18 They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots(K) for my garment.(L)
19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me.(M)
You are my strength;(N) come quickly(O) to help me.(P)
20 Deliver me from the sword,(Q)
my precious life(R) from the power of the dogs.(S)
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;(T)
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.(U)
22 I will declare your name to my people;
in the assembly(V) I will praise you.(W)
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!(X)
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!(Y)
Revere him,(Z) all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despised(AA) or scorned
the suffering of the afflicted one;(AB)
he has not hidden his face(AC) from him
but has listened to his cry for help.(AD)
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;(AE)
before those who fear you[c] I will fulfill my vows.(AF)
26 The poor will eat(AG) and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise him—(AH)
may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth(AI)
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,(AJ)
28 for dominion belongs to the Lord(AK)
and he rules over the nations.
29 All the rich(AL) of the earth will feast and worship;(AM)
all who go down to the dust(AN) will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.(AO)
30 Posterity(AP) will serve him;
future generations(AQ) will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness,(AR)
declaring to a people yet unborn:(AS)
He has done it!(AT)

Psalm 22:14-31
King James Version
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.
17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's: and he is the governor among the nations.
29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
