Chapter 22

1


 

  To the Overseer, on 'The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?  

 

 

--

2


 

  My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.  

 

 

--

3


 

  And Thou [art] holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.  

 

 

--

4


 

  In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.  

 

 

--

6


 

  And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.  

 

 

--

7


 

  All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,  

 

 

--

8


 

  'Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'  

 

 

--

9


 

  For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.  

 

 

--

10


 

  On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.  

 

 

--

11


 

  Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.  

 

 

--

12


 

  Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,  

 

 

--

13


 

  They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.  

 

 

--

14


 

  As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.  

 

 

--

15


 

  Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.  

 

 

--

16


 

  And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.  

 

 

--

17


 

  I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,  

 

 

--

18


 

  They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.  

 

 

--

19


 

  And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!  

 

 

--

22


 

  I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.  

 

 

--

23


 

  Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.  

 

 

--

24


 

  For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.  

 

 

--

25


 

  Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.  

 

 

--

26


 

  The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.  

 

 

--

27


 

  Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,  

 

 

--

28


 

  For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.  

 

 

--

29


 

  And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he [who] hath not revived his soul.  

 

 

--

30


 

  A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.  

 

 

--

31


 

  They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
