Psalms 22:7-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
7All who see me deride me; They sneer, they shake their heads, saying, 8'Turn him over to the Lord; let Him save him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.' 9Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts. 10I was cast upon You from birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb. 11Do not be far from me, for trouble is near; For there is no one to help. 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. 22I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. 23You who fear the Lord, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. 24For He has not despised nor scorned the suffering of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard. 25From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him. 26The afflicted will eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the Lord. May your heart live forever! 27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations will worship before You. 28For the kingdom is the Lord’S And He rules over the nations. 29All the prosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who go down to the dust will kneel before Him, Even he who cannot keep his soul alive.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
8"He relies on the Lord; let him save him; let the Lord rescue him, since he takes pleasure in him."
9It was you who brought me out of the womb, making me secure at my mother’s breast.
11Don’t be far from me, because distress is near and there’s no one to help.
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!
22I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters; I will praise you in the assembly.
23You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! All you descendants of Israel, revere him!
24For he has not despised or abhorred the torment of the oppressed. He did not hide his face from him but listened when he cried to him for help.
25I will give praise in the great assembly because of you; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear you.
26The humble will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him. May your hearts live forever!
27All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord. All the families of the nations will bow down before you,
28for kingship belongs to the Lord; he rules the nations.
29All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down; all those who go down to the dust will kneel before him— even the one who cannot preserve his life.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
7Everyone who sees me mocks me. They sneer and shake their heads, saying, 8'Is this the one who relies on the Lord? Then let the Lord save him! If the Lord loves him so much, let the Lord rescue him!'
9Yet you brought me safely from my mother’s womb and led me to trust you at my mother’s breast.
10I was thrust into your arms at my birth. You have been my God from the moment I was born.
11Do not stay so far from me, for trouble is near, and no one else can help me.
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.
19O Lord, do not stay far away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!
20Save me from the sword; spare my precious life from these dogs.
21Snatch me from the lion’s jaws and from the horns of these wild oxen.
22I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among your assembled people.
23Praise the Lord, all you who fear him! Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob! Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel!
24For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy. He has not turned his back on them, but has listened to their cries for help.
25I will praise you in the great assembly. I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.
26The poor will eat and be satisfied. All who seek the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.
27The whole earth will acknowledge the Lord and return to him. All the families of the nations will bow down before him.
28For royal power belongs to the Lord. He rules all the nations.
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
7All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads; 8 "He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!" 9Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother 's breasts. 10On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother 's womb you have been my God. 11Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. 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! 22 I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise you: 23You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him, and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel! 24For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him. 25From you comes my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will perform before those who fear him. 26 The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; those who seek him shall praise the Lord! May your hearts live forever! 27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before you. 28For kingship belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations. 29All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship; before him shall bow all who go down to the dust, even the one who could not keep himself alive.New International Version
8"He trusts in the Lord," they say, "let the Lord rescue him. Let him deliver him, since he delights in him."
9Yet you brought me out of the womb; you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
11Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
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.
18They divide my clothes among them and cast lots for my garment.
19But you, Lord, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
20Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you.
23You who fear the Lord, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.
25From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.
