Psalm 22:1-18

NASB

Psalm 22:1-18

A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.

^{Tools
1} For the choir director; upon ^(a)Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

^(A)My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
^(b)^(B)Far from my deliverance are the words of my ^(c)^(C)groaning.

^{Tools
2}

O my God, I ^(D)cry by day, but You do not answer;
And by night, but ^(d)I have no rest.

^{Tools
3}

Yet ^(E)You are holy,
O You who ^(e)are enthroned upon ^(F)the praises of Israel.

^{Tools
4}

In You our fathers ^(G)trusted;
They trusted and You ^(H)delivered them.

^{Tools
5}

To You they cried out and were delivered;
^(I)In You they trusted and were not ^(f)disappointed.

^{Tools
6}

But I am a ^(J)worm and not a man,
A ^(K)reproach of men and ^(L)despised by the people.

^{Tools
7}

All who see me ^(g)^(M)sneer at me;
They ^(h)separate with the lip, they ^(N)wag the head, saying,

^{Tools
8}

“⁽ⁱ⁾Commit yourself to the Lord; ^(O)let Him deliver him;
Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

^{Tools
9}

Yet You are He who ^(P)brought me forth from the womb;
You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.

^{Tools
10}

Upon You I was cast ^(Q)from ^(j)birth;
You have been my God from my mother’s womb.

^{Tools
11}

^(R)Be not far from me, for ^(k)trouble is near;
For there is ^(S)none to help.

^{Tools
12}

Many ^(T)bulls have surrounded me;
Strong bulls of ^(U)Bashan have encircled me.

^{Tools
13}

They ^(V)open wide their mouth at me,
As a ravening and a roaring ^(W)lion.

^{Tools
14}

I am ^(X)poured out like water,
And all my ^(Y)bones are out of joint;
My ^(Z)heart is like wax;
It is melted within ^(l)me.

^{Tools
15}

My ^(AA)strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And ^(AB)my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And You ^(AC)lay me ^(m)in the dust of death.

^{Tools
16}

For ^(AD)dogs have surrounded me;
⁽ⁿ⁾A band of evildoers has encompassed me;
^(o)They ^(AE)pierced my hands and my feet.

^{Tools
17}

I can count all my bones.
^(AF)They look, they stare at me;

^{Tools
18}

They ^(AG)divide my garments among them,
And for my clothing they cast lots.
