Psalms 22:12-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
12Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. 13They open their mouths wide at me, As a ravening and roaring lion. 14I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. 15My strength is dried up like a piece of pottery, And my tongue clings to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death. 16For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. 17I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; 18They divide my garments among them, And they cast lots for my clothing. 19But You, Lord, do not be far away; You who are my help, hurry to my assistance. 20Save my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog. 21Save me from the lion’s mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
12Many bulls surround me; strong ones of Bashan encircle me. 13They open their mouths against me— lions, mauling and roaring. 14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax, melting within me. 15My strength is dried up like baked clay; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You put me into the dust of death. 16For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has closed in on me; they pierced my hands and my feet. 17I can count all my bones; people look and stare at me.
18They divided my garments among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothing.
19But you, Lord, don’t be far away. My strength, come quickly to help me.
20Rescue my life from the sword, my only life from the power of these dogs.
21Save me from the lion’s mouth, from the horns of wild oxen. You answered me!
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
12My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; fierce bulls of Bashan have hemmed me in! 13Like lions they open their jaws against me, roaring and tearing into their prey. 14My life is poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me. 15My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead. 16My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet. 17I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat. 18They divide my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing.English Standard Version
Chapter 22
12Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me; 13they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. 14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; 15my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. 16For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet — 17I can count all my bones — they stare and gloat over me; 18 they divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots. 19But you, O Lord, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid! 20Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog! 21Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!New International Version
Chapter 22
12Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me. 13Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me. 14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.
15My mouth is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; you lay me in the dust of death.
16Dogs surround me, a pack of villains encircles me; they pierce my hands and my feet.
17All my bones are on display; people stare and gloat over me.
