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)
