Psalm 22:12

From Suffering To Praise

¹¹
Do not be far from me, for trouble is near;
And there is no one to help.
¹² 
Many [enemies like] bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
¹³
They open wide their mouths against me,
Like a ravening and a roaring lion.

Who say to their husbands, “Bring [the wine] now, and let us drink!”
