14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart has turned to wax;

it has melted within me.

15 My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,

and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;

you lay me in the dust of death.

16 Dogs surround me,

a pack of villains encircles me;

they pierce my hands and my feet.

17 All my bones are on display;

people stare and gloat over me.

18 They divide my clothes among them

and cast lots for my garment.

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.

14 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. 15 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. 16 For dogs have compassed me: The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: They pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: They look and stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, And cast lots upon my vesture. 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.

14 My life is poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart is like wax,

melting within me.

15 My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay.

My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.

You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead.

16 My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs;

an evil gang closes in on me.

They have pierced my hands and feet.

17 I can count all my bones.

My enemies stare at me and gloat.

18 They divide my garments among themselves

and throw dice for my clothing.

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.

14 I am poured out like water,

And all My bones are out of joint;

My heart is like wax;

It has melted within Me.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,

And My tongue clings to My jaws;

You have brought Me to the dust of death.

16 For dogs have surrounded Me;

The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.

They pierced My hands and My feet;

17 I can count all My bones.

They look and stare at Me.

18 They divide My garments among them,

And for My clothing they cast lots.

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.

14 My strength is gone,

like water poured out onto the ground,

and my bones are out of joint.

My heart is like wax;

it has melted inside me.

15 My strength has dried up like a clay pot,

and my tongue sticks to the top of my mouth.

You laid me in the dust of death.

16 Evil people have surrounded me;

like dogs they have trapped me.

They have bitten my arms and legs.

17 I can count all my bones;

people look and stare at me.

18 They divided my clothes among them,

and they threw lots for my clothing.

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.

14 I am poured out like water,

And all my bones are out of joint:

My heart is like wax;

It is melted within me.

15 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.

16 For dogs have compassed me:

A company of evil-doers have inclosed me;

They pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I may count all my bones.

They look and stare upon me;

18 They part my garments among them,

And upon my vesture do they cast lots.

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.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is become like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and thou hast laid me in the dust of death. 16 For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may count all my bones. They look, they stare upon me; 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 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;

14 I am poured out like water, 

and all my bones are out of joint. 

My heart is like wax. 

It has melted within me. 

15 My strength is dried up like pieces of broken pottery. 

My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. 

You lay me down in the dust of death. 

16 Dogs have surrounded me. 

A mob has encircled me. 

They have pierced my hands and feet. 

17 I can count all my bones. 

People stare. 

They gloat over me. 

18 They divide my clothes among themselves. 

They throw dice for my clothing. 

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. 

14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are disjointed;

my heart is like wax,

melting within me.

15 My strength is dried up like baked clay;

my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.

You put me into the dust of death.

16 For dogs have surrounded me;

a gang of evildoers has closed in on me;

they pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I can count all my bones;

people look and stare at me.

18 They divided my garments among themselves,

and they cast lots for my clothing.

19 But You, Lord, don’t be far away.

My strength, come quickly to help me.

20 Deliver my life from the sword,

my only life from the power of these dogs.

14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint;

my heart is like wax;

it is melted within my breast;

15 my mouth is dried up like a potsherd,

and my tongue sticks to my jaws;

you lay me in the dust of death.

16 For dogs are all around me;

a company of evildoers encircles me.

My hands and feet have shriveled;

17 I can count all my bones.

They stare and gloat over me;

18 they divide my clothes among themselves,

and for my clothing they cast lots.

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

O my help, come quickly to my aid!

20 Deliver my soul from the sword,

my life from the power of the dog!

14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart is like wax;

it is melted within me.

15 My strength is dry like a potsherd,

and my tongue is sticking to my jaws;

and you have placed me in the dust of death.

16 Because dogs have surrounded me;

a gang of evildoers has encircled me.

Like the lion they are at my hands and my feet.

17 I can count all my bones;

they gaze, they look at me.

18 They divide my garments among them,

and for my clothing they cast lots.

19 But you, O Yahweh, do not remain distant.

O my help, hasten to help me.

20 Rescue my life from the sword,

my only life from the power of the dogs.

14 My strength is like water that is poured out on the ground.

I feel as if my bones aren’t connected.

My heart has turned to wax.

It has melted away inside me.

15 My strength is dried up like a piece of broken pottery.

My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.

You bring me down to the edge of the grave.

16 A group of sinful people has closed in on me.

They are all around me like a pack of dogs.

They have pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I can see all of my bones right through my skin.

People stare at me. They laugh when I suffer.

18 They divide up my clothes among them.

They cast lots for what I am wearing.

19 Lord, don’t be so far away.

You give me strength. Come quickly to help me.

20 Save me from the sword.

Save the only life I have. Save me from the power of those dogs.

14 I am poured out like water,

And all my bones are out of joint;

My heart is like wax;

It is melted within me.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,

And my tongue cleaves to my jaws;

And You lay me in the dust of death.

16 For dogs have surrounded me;

A band of evildoers has encompassed me;

They pierced my hands and my feet.

17 I can count all my bones.

They look, they stare at me;

18 They divide my garments among them,

And for my clothing they cast lots.

19 But You, O Lord, be not far off;

O You my help, hasten to my assistance.

20 Deliver my soul from the sword,

My only life from the power of the dog.
