Psalm 22:19–26

19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me.

You are my strength; come quickly to help me.

20 Deliver me from the sword,

my precious life from the power of the dogs.

21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;

save me from the horns of the wild oxen.

22 I will declare your name to my people;

in the assembly I will praise you.

23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!

All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!

Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!

24 For he has not despised or scorned

the suffering of the afflicted one;

he has not hidden his face from him

but has listened to his cry for help.

25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;

before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.

26 The poor will eat and be satisfied;

those who seek the Lord will praise him—

may your hearts live forever!

19 But you, O Lord, do not be far off!

O you my help, come quickly to my aid!

20 Deliver my soul from the sword,

my precious life from the power of the dog!

21 Save me from the mouth of the lion!

You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!

22 I will tell of your name to my brothers;

in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:

23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!

All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,

and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!

24 For he has not despised or abhorred

the affliction of the afflicted,

and he has not hidden his face from him,

but has heard, when he cried to him.

25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation;

my vows I will perform before those who fear him.

26 The afflicted shall eat and be satisfied;

those who seek him shall praise the Lord!

May your hearts live forever!

19 But be not thou far from me, O Lord:

O my strength, haste thee to help me.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword;

My darling from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lion’s mouth:

For thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren:

In the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

23 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him;

All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;

And fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;

Neither hath he hid his face from him;

But when he cried unto him, he heard.

25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation:

I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied:

They shall praise the Lord that seek him:

Your heart shall live for ever.

19 O Lord, do not stay far away!

You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!

20 Save me from the sword;

spare my precious life from these dogs.

21 Snatch me from the lion’s jaws

and from the horns of these wild oxen.

22 I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.

I will praise you among your assembled people.

23 Praise the Lord, all you who fear him!

Honor him, all you descendants of Jacob!

Show him reverence, all you descendants of Israel!

24 For he has not ignored or belittled the suffering of the needy.

He has not turned his back on them,

but has listened to their cries for help.

25 I will praise you in the great assembly.

I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who worship you.

26 The poor will eat and be satisfied.

All who seek the Lord will praise him.

Their hearts will rejoice with everlasting joy.

19 But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me;

O My Strength, hasten to help Me!

20 Deliver Me from the sword,

My precious life from the power of the dog.

21 Save Me from the lion’s mouth

And from the horns of the wild oxen!

You have answered Me.

22 I will declare Your name to My brethren;

In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.

23 You who fear the Lord, praise Him!

All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him,

And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!

24 For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;

Nor has He hidden His face from Him;

But when He cried to Him, He heard.

25 My praise shall be of You in the great assembly;

I will pay My vows before those who fear Him.

26 The poor shall eat and be satisfied;

Those who seek Him will praise the Lord.

Let your heart live forever!

19 But, Lord, don’t be far away.

You are my strength; hurry to help me.

20 Save me from the sword;

save my life from the dogs.

21 Rescue me from the lion’s mouth;

save me from the horns of the bulls.

22 Then I will tell my brothers and sisters about you;

I will praise you in the public meeting.

23 Praise the Lord, all you who respect him.

All you descendants of Jacob, honor him;

fear him, all you Israelites.

24 He does not ignore those in trouble.

He doesn’t hide from them

but listens when they call out to him.

25 Lord, I praise you in the great meeting of your people;

these worshipers will see me do what I promised.

26 Poor people will eat until they are full;

those who look to the Lord will praise him.

May your hearts live forever!

19 But be not thou far off, O Jehovah:

O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword,

My darling from the power of the dog.

21 Save me from the lion’s mouth;

Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.

22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren:

In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.

23 Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;

All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;

And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.

24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;

Neither hath he hid his face from him;

But when he cried unto him, he heard.

25 Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:

I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied;

They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him:

Let your heart live for ever.

19 But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog; 21 Save me from the lion’s mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me.

22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 23 Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel. 24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard. 25 My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

19 Do not be so far away, O Lord. 

Come quickly to help me, O my strength. 

20 Rescue my soul from the sword, 

my life from vicious dogs. 

21 Save me from the mouth of the lion 

and from the horns of wild oxen. 

You have answered me. 

22 I will tell my people about your name. 

I will praise you within the congregation. 

23 All who fear the Lord, praise him! 

All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! 

Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel. 

24 The Lord has not despised or been disgusted 

with the plight of the oppressed one. 

He has not hidden his face from that person. 

The Lord heard when that oppressed person 

cried out to him for help. 

25 My praise comes from you while I am among those assembled for worship. 

I will fulfill my vows in the presence of those who fear the Lord. 

26 Oppressed people will eat until they are full. 

Those who look to the Lord will praise him. 

May you live forever.

in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:

23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!

All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him;

stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!

24 For he did not despise or abhor

the affliction of the afflicted;

he did not hide his face from me

my vows I will pay before those who fear him.

In the great assembly,

I will pay my vows before those who revere him.

I will praise you in the whole community of those who worship you.

In front of those who respect you,

I will keep my promises.

26 Those who are poor will eat and be satisfied.
