14 I am (A)poured out like water,
    and all my bones are (B)out of joint;
my (C)heart is like (D)wax;
    it is melted within my breast;
15 my strength is (E)dried up like a potsherd,
    and my (F)tongue sticks to my jaws;
    you lay me in the dust of death.

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

19 But you, O Lord, (L)do not be far off!
    O you my help, (M)come quickly to my aid!
