16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
(A)They[a] pierced My hands and My feet;
17 I can count all My bones.
(B)They look and stare at Me.
18 (C)They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.

19 But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
20 Deliver Me from the sword,
(D)My[b] precious life from the power of the dog.
21 (E)Save Me from the lion’s mouth
And from the horns of the wild oxen!

(F)You have answered Me.
