Psalms of David 22

22
PSALM XXII.
C. M.
1MY God, my God, why leav’st thou me
When I with anguish faint?
O why so far from me remov’d,
And from my loud complaint?
2All day, but all the day unheard,
To thee do I complain;
With cries implore relief all night,
But cry all night in vain.
3Yet thou art still the righteous Judge
Of innocence oppress’d;
And therefore Israel’s praises are
Of right to thee address’d.
4-5On thee our ancestors relied,
And thy deliv’rance found;
With pious confidence they pray’d,
And with success were crown’d.
6But I am treated like a worm,
Like none of human birth;
Not only by the great revil’d,
But made the rabble’s mirth.
7With laughter all the gazing crowd
My agonies survey;
They shoot the lip, they shake the head,
And thus deriding say:
8In God he trusted, boasting oft
That he was Heav’n’s delight:
Let God come down to save him now,
And own his favourite.
The Second Part.
9Thou mad’st my teeming mother’s womb
A living offspring bear;
When but a suckling at the breast
I was thy early care.
10Thou, guardian-like, didst shield from wrongs
My helpless infant days;
And since hast been my God and guide
Through life’s bewilder’d ways.
11Withdraw not then so far from me,
When trouble is so migh;
O send me help! thy help, on which
I only can rely.
12High-pamper’d bulls, a frowning herd,
From Basan’s forest met,
With strength proportion’d to their rage,
Have me around beset.
13They gape on me, and ev’ry mouth
A yawning grave appears;
The desert lion’s savage roar
Less dreadful is than their’s.
The Third Part.
14My bloodlike water’s spill’d, my joints
Are rack’d and out of frame;
My heart dissolves within my breast,
Like wax before the flame.
15Mystrength like potter’s earth is parch’d,
My tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And to the silent shades of death
My fainting soul withdraws.
16Like blood-hounds, to surround me, they
In pack’d assemblies meet;
They pierc’d my inoffensive hands,
They pierc’d my harmless feet.
17My body’s rack’d, till all my bones
Distinctly may be told:
Yet such a spectacle of woe
As pastime they behold.
18As spoil, my garments they divide,
Lots for my vesture cast:
19Therefore approach, O Lord, my strength,
And to my succour haste.
20From their sharp sword protect thou me,
Of all but life bereft;
Nor let my darling in the pow’r
Of cruel dogs be left.
21To save me from the lion’s jaws
Thy present succour send;
As once from goring unicorns
Thou didst my life defend.
22Then to my brethren I’ll declare
The triumphs of thy Name;
In presence of assembled saints
Thy glory thus proclaim:
23Ye worshippers of Jacob’s God,
All you of Israel’s line,
O praise the Lord, and to your praise
Sincere obedience join.
24He ne’er disdain’d on low distress
To cast a gracious eye;
Nor turn’d from poverty his face,
But hears its humble cry.
The Fourth Part.
25Thus in thy sacred courts will I
My cheerful thanks express;
In presence of thy saints perform
The vows of my distress.
26The meek companions of my grief
Shall find my table spread;
And all that seek the Lord shall be
With joys immortal fed.
27Then shall the glad converted world
To God their homage pay;
And scatter’d nations of the earth
One sov’reign Lord obey.
28’Tis his supreme prerogative
O’er subject kings to reign;
’Tis just that he should rule the world,
Who does the world sustain.
29The rich, who are with plenty fed,
His bounty must confess;
The sons of want, by him reliev’d,
Their gen’rous patron bless.
With humble worship to his throne gave,
They all for aid resort;
That pow’r, which first their beings
Can only them support.
30-31Then shall a chosen spotless race,
Devoted to his Name,
To their admiring heirs his truth
And glorious acts proclaim.
