| # Chapter 22
| To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
| O my God, I cry in the day-time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
| But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
| Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
| They cried to thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
| But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
| All they that see me deride me: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
| He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
| But thou art he that brought me forth into life: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
| I was cast upon thee from my birth: thou art my God from the time I was born.
| Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
| Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
| They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
| I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
| My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
| For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
| I may number all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
| They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
| But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
| Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
| Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
| I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
| Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
| For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
| My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
| The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
| All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
| For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
| All they that are fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
| A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
| They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
