Psalm 22:16-24

English Standard Version

¹⁶ For ^(A)dogs encompass me;
    a company of evildoers ^(B)encircles me;
they have ^(C)pierced my hands and feet^[a]—
¹⁷ I can count all my bones—
they ^(D)stare and gloat over me;
^18 (E)they divide my garments among them,
    and for my clothing they cast lots.

¹⁹ But you, O Lord, ^(F)do not be far off!
    O you my help, ^(G)come quickly to my aid!
²⁰ Deliver my soul from the sword,
    my precious life from the power of ^(H)the dog!
²¹     Save me from ^(I)the mouth of the lion!
You have rescued^[b] me from the horns of ^(J)the wild oxen!

^22 (K)I will tell of your name to my ^(L)brothers;
    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:
²³ You who ^(M)fear the Lord, praise him!
    All you offspring of Jacob, ^(N)glorify him,
    and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!
²⁴ For he has not despised or abhorred
    the affliction of ^(O)the afflicted,
and he has not ^(P)hidden his face from him,
    but has heard, when he ^(Q)cried to him.
