Psalm 22:19-24

Good News Translation

¹⁹ O Lord, don't stay away from me!
    Come quickly to my rescue!
²⁰ Save me from the sword;
    save my life from these dogs.
²¹ Rescue me from these lions;
    I am helpless^[a] before these wild bulls.

^22 (A)I will tell my people what you have done;
    I will praise you in their assembly:
²³ “Praise him, you servants of the Lord!
    Honor him, you descendants of Jacob!
    Worship him, you people of Israel!
²⁴ He does not neglect the poor or ignore their suffering;
    he does not turn away from them,
    but answers when they call for help.”
