22:1  Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David. O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
22:2  O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
22:3  But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
22:4  In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
22:5  They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
22:6  But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
22:7  All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
22:8  He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
22:9  For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
22:10  I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God,
22:11  depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
22:12  Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
22:13  They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
22:14  I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
22:15  My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
22:16  For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.
22:17  They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
22:18  They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
22:19  But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
22:20  Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.
22:21  Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
22:22  I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
22:23  Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
22:24  Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.
22:25  With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
22:26  The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
22:27  All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.
22:28  For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he shall have dominion over the nations.
22:29  All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
22:30  And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him.
22:31  There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
