Psalms 22
22
For the Music Director. To the melody of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David.
1My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? # Mt 27:46; Mk 15:34
Why are You so far from helping me,
and from the words of my groaning?
2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not answer;
and at night, # Ps 42:3; 88:1 and have no rest.
3But You are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel. # Dt 10:21; Ps 65:1
4Our fathers trusted in You;
they trusted, and You delivered them.
5They cried to You, and were delivered;
they trusted in You, and were not put to shame. # Ps 31:1; Isa 49:23
6But I am a worm, and not human; # Job 25:6; Isa 41:14
a reproach of men and despised by the people.
7All who see me mock me;
they sneer with the lip; they shake the head, # Ps 109:25; Mk 15:29 saying,
8“Trust in the Lord,
let Him rescue him; # Ps 91:14
let Him deliver him,
since He delights in him.” # Ps 18:19
9But You are He who took me out of the womb; # Ps 71:6
You kept me safe
on my mother’s breasts.
10Upon You was I cast from birth;
from my mother’s womb You have been my God. # Isa 49:1; Jer 1:5; Gal 1:15
11Be not far from me,
for trouble is near # Ps 10:1
and there is no one to help. # Ps 72:12
12Many bulls surround me; # Ps 68:30
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13They open wide their mouths at me, # Job 16:10; Ps 35:21
like a raging and roaring lion.
14I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint; # Da 5:6
my heart is like wax;
it is melted within me. # Jos 7:5
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; # Jn 19:28
You have set me in the dust of death. # Ps 104:29
16For dogs have encompassed me; # Ps 59:6
the assembly of the wicked has encircled me;
they pierced my hands and my feet; # Zec 12:10
17I can count all my bones;
they look and stare at me. # Lk 23:27, 35
18They divide my garments among themselves,
and for my clothing they cast lots. # Mt 27:35; Mk 15:24; Lk 23:34
19But You, O Lord, do not be far from me; # Ps 22:11
O my Strength, come quickly to help me!
20Deliver my soul from the sword, # Ps 35:17
my precious life from the power of the dog!
21Save me from the lion’s mouth! # 2Ti 4:17
From the horns of the wild oxen # Nu 23:22 You have rescued me.
22I will declare Your name to my brethren;
in the midst of the assembly I will praise You. # Ps 40:9–10
23You who fear the Lord, praise Him! # Ps 135:19–20
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him; # Ps 50:23
fear Him, all you descendants of Israel!
24For He has not despised nor abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted;
nor has He hidden His face from him;
but heard when he cried to Him. # Heb 5:7
25My praise will be from You in the great congregation; # Ps 35:18; 40:9–10
I will pay my vows before those who fear Him.
26The meek will eat and be satisfied; # Isa 25:6; 65:13
those who seek Him will praise the Lord.
May your hearts live forever. # Ps 69:32
27All the ends of the world
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will worship before You. # Ps 2:8; 72:11; 86:9
28For kingship belongs to the Lord, # Ps 47:7–8; Ob 21
and He rules over the nations.
29All the prosperous ones of the earth will eat and worship; # Ps 45:12
all who go down to the dust will bow before Him, # Isa 26:19
even he who cannot preserve his own life.
30Their descendants will serve Him;
the next generation will be told about the Lord;
31they will come and declare His righteousness # Ps 86:9
to a people yet to be born, # Ps 78:6
saying that He has this.
