Psalm 22

1My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? 2My God, I cry out in the daytime, but you do not answer, 3Yet you are holy; 4Our ancestors trusted in you; 5They cried to you and they were rescued. 6But I am a worm and not a man, 7All those who see me taunt me; 8They say, “He trusts in Yahweh; 9For you brought me from the womb; 10I have been thrown on you from the womb; 11Do not be far away from me, for trouble is near; 12Many bulls surround me; 13They open their mouths wide against me 14I am being poured out like water, 15My strength has dried up like a piece of pottery; 16For dogs have surrounded me; 17I can count all my bones. 18They divide my garments among themselves, 19Do not be far away, Yahweh; 20Rescue my soul from the sword, 21Save me from the lion's mouth; 22I will declare your name to my brothers; 23You who fear Yahweh, praise him! 24For he has not despised or abhorred the suffering of the afflicted one; 25My praise will be because of you in the great assembly; 26The oppressed will eat and be satisfied; 27All the peoples of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh; 28For the kingdom is Yahweh's; 29All the prosperous people of the earth will feast and will worship; 30A generation to come will serve him;
