# Chapter 22
|
||
1 My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?
|
||
Why are You so far from helping Me,
|
||
And from the words of My groaning?
|
||
2 O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear;
|
||
And in the night season, and am not silent.
|
||
3 But You are holy,
|
||
Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
|
||
4 Our fathers trusted in You;
|
||
They trusted, and You delivered them.
|
||
5 They cried to You, and were delivered;
|
||
They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
|
||
6 But I am a worm, and no man;
|
||
A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
|
||
7 All those who see Me ridicule Me;
|
||
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
|
||
8 “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
|
||
Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”
|
||
9 But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
|
||
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
|
||
10 I was cast upon You from birth.
|
||
From My mother’s womb
|
||
You have been My God.
|
||
11 Be not far from Me,
|
||
For trouble is near;
|
||
For there is none to help.
|
||
12 Many bulls have surrounded Me;
|
||
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me.
|
||
13 They gape at Me with their mouths,
|
||
Like a raging and roaring lion.
|
||
14 I am poured out like water,
|
||
And all My bones are out of joint;
|
||
My heart is like wax;
|
||
It has melted within Me.
|
||
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
|
||
And My tongue clings to My jaws;
|
||
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
|
||
16 For dogs have surrounded Me;
|
||
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
|
||
They pierced My hands and My feet;
|
||
17 I can count all My bones.
|
||
They look and stare at Me.
|
||
18 They divide My garments among them,
|
||
And for My clothing they cast lots.
|
||
19 But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;
|
||
O My Strength, hasten to help Me!
|
||
20 Deliver Me from the sword,
|
||
My precious life from the power of the dog.
|
||
21 Save Me from the lion’s mouth
|
||
And from the horns of the wild oxen!
|
||
You have answered Me.
|
||
22 I will declare Your name to My brethren;
|
||
In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
|
||
23 You who fear the Lord, praise Him!
|
||
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,
|
||
And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!
|
||
24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
|
||
Nor has He hidden His face from Him;
|
||
But when He cried to Him, He heard.
|
||
25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;
|
||
I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.
|
||
26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
|
||
Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
|
||
Let your heart live forever!
|
||
27 All the ends of the world
|
||
Shall remember and turn to the Lord,
|
||
And all the families of the nations
|
||
Shall worship before You.
|
||
28 For the kingdom is the Lord’s,
|
||
And He rules over the nations.
|
||
29 All the prosperous of the earth
|
||
Shall eat and worship;
|
||
All those who go down to the dust
|
||
Shall bow before Him,
|
||
Even he who cannot keep himself alive.
|
||
30 A posterity shall serve Him.
|
||
It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation,
|
||
31 They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born,
|
||
That He has done this. |
