Psalm 22:11-18
New King James Version
11 Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.
12 (A)Many bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of (B)Bashan have encircled Me.
13 (C)They [a]gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water,
(D)And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted [b]within Me.
15 (E)My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And (F)My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
(G)They[c] pierced My hands and My feet;
17 I can count all My bones.
(H)They look and stare at Me.
18 (I)They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.
