Psalm 22:1-18

New American Standard Bible

A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.

For the music director; upon ^[a]Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

22 ^(A)My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
^(B)Far from my ^[b]help are the words of my ^[c]^(C)groaning.
²My God, I ^(D)cry out by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but ^[d]I have no rest.
³Yet ^(E)You are holy,
You who ^[e]are enthroned upon ^(F)the praises of Israel.
⁴In You our fathers ^(G)trusted;
They trusted and You ^(H)rescued them.
⁵To You they cried out and they fled to safety;
^(I)In You they trusted and were not ^[f]disappointed.

⁶But I am a ^(J)worm and not a person,
A ^(K)disgrace of mankind and ^(L)despised by the people.
⁷All who see me ^(M)deride me;
They ^[g]sneer, they ^(N)shake their heads, saying,
⁸“^[h]Turn ^[i]him over to the Lord; ^(O)let Him save him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

⁹Yet You are He who ^(P)brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
¹⁰I was cast upon You ^(Q)from ^[j]birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

¹¹^(R)Do not be far from me, for ^[k]trouble is near;
For there is ^(S)no one to help.
¹²Many ^(T)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of ^(U)Bashan have encircled me.
¹³They ^(V)open their mouths wide at me,
As a ravening and roaring ^(W)lion.
¹⁴I am ^(X)poured out like water,
And all my ^(Y)bones are out of joint;
My ^(Z)heart is like wax;
It is melted within ^[l]me.
¹⁵My ^(AA)strength is dried up like a piece of pottery,
And ^(AB)my tongue clings to my jaws;
And You ^(AC)lay me ^[m]in the dust of death.
¹⁶For ^(AD)dogs have surrounded me;
^[n]A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
^[o]They ^(AE)pierced my hands and my feet.
¹⁷I can count all my bones.
^(AF)They look, they stare at me;
¹⁸They ^(AG)divide my garments among them,
And they cast lots for my clothing.

The Crucifixion

³³^(A)And when they came to a place called ^(B)Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull, ³⁴^(C)they gave Him ^(D)wine mixed with ^[a]bile to drink; and after tasting it, He was unwilling to drink it.

³⁵And when they had crucified Him, ^(E)they divided His garments among themselves by casting ^[b]lots. ³⁶And sitting down, they began to ^(F)keep watch over Him there. ³⁷And above His head they put up the charge against Him ^[c]which read, “^(G)THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁸At that time two ^[d]rebels *were being crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left. ³⁹And those passing by were ^[e]speaking abusively to Him, ^(H)shaking their heads, ⁴⁰and saying, “^(I)You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! ^(J)If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” ⁴¹In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying, ⁴²“^(K)He saved others; ^[f]He cannot save Himself! ^(L)He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him. ⁴³^(M)He has trusted in God; let God rescue Him now, if He ^[g]takes pleasure in Him; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’” ⁴⁴^(N)And the ^[h]rebels who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him in the same way.

⁴⁵^(O)Now from the ^[i]sixth hour darkness ^[j]fell upon all the land until the ^[k]ninth hour. ⁴⁶And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “^(P)Eli, Eli, lema sabaktanei?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” ⁴⁷And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” ⁴⁸And ^(Q)immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink. ⁴⁹But the rest of them said, “^[l]Let us see if Elijah comes to save Him^[m].” ⁵⁰And Jesus ^(R)cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit. ⁵¹^(S)And behold, ^(T)the ^[n]veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and ^(U)the earth shook and the rocks were split. ⁵²Also the tombs were opened, and many bodies of the ^[o]saints who had ^(V)fallen asleep were raised; ⁵³and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection, they entered ^(W)the holy city and appeared to many. ⁵⁴^(X)Now as for the centurion and those who were with him ^(Y)keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw ^(Z)the earthquake and the other things that were happening, they became extremely frightened and said, “Truly this was ^[p]^(AA)the Son of God!”

The Crucifixion

³³^(A)And when they came to the place called ^[a]The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. ³⁴[^[b]But Jesus was saying, “^(B)Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.”] ^(C)And they cast lots, dividing His garments among themselves. ³⁵And the people stood by, watching. And even the ^(D)rulers were sneering at Him, saying, “He saved others; ^(E)let Him save Himself if this is the ^[c]Christ of God, His Chosen One.” ³⁶The soldiers also ridiculed Him, coming up to Him, ^(F)offering Him sour wine, ³⁷and saying, “^(G)If You are the King of the Jews, save Yourself!” ³⁸Now there was also an inscription above Him, “^(H)THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.”

³⁹^(I)One of the criminals who were hanged there was ^[d]hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the ^[e]Christ? ^(J)Save Yourself and us!” ⁴⁰But the other responded, and rebuking him, said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? ⁴¹And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving ^[f]what we deserve for our crimes; but this man has done nothing wrong.” ⁴²And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!” ⁴³And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in ^(K)Paradise.”

⁴⁴^(L)It was now about ^[g]^(M)the sixth hour, and darkness came over the entire land until ^[h]the ninth hour, ⁴⁵^[i]because the sun stopped shining; and ^(N)the veil of the temple was torn ^[j]in two. ⁴⁶And Jesus, ^(O)crying out with a loud voice, said, “Father, ^(P)into Your hands I entrust My spirit.” And having said this, He ^[k]died. ⁴⁷^(Q)Now when the centurion saw what had happened, he began ^(R)praising God, saying, “This man was in fact ^[l]innocent.” ⁴⁸And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, after watching what had happened, began to return home, ^[m]^(S)beating their chests. ⁴⁹^(T)And all His acquaintances and ^(U)the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.
