22:17I can count37 all my bones;
my enemies38 are gloating over me in triumph.39
22:18They are dividing up my clothes among themselves;
they are rolling dice40 for my garments.
22:19But you, O Lord, do not remain far away!
You are my source of strength!41 Hurry and help me!42
22:20Deliver me43 from the sword!
Footnotes
- 37 The imperfect verbal forms in vv. 17–18 draw attention to the progressive nature of the action.
- 38 Heb “they.” The masculine form indicates the enemies are in view. The referent (the psalmist’s enemies) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 39 Heb “they gaze, they look upon me.”
- 40 Heb “casting lots.” The precise way in which this would have been done is not certain.
- 41 Heb “O my strength.”
- 42 Heb “hurry to my help.”
- 43 Or “my life.”
- 44 The verb “save” is supplied in the translation; it is understood by ellipsis (see “deliver” in the preceding line).
- 45 Heb “my only one.” The psalmist may mean that his life is precious, or that he feels isolated and alone.
- 46 Heb “from the hand.” Here “hand” is understood by metonymy as a reference to the “paw” and thus the “claws” of the wild dogs.

I can count all my bones—
they stare and gloat over me;
they divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.
But you, O Lord, do not be far off!
O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog!

Deliver me from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.

I can count all my bones;
they gaze, they look at me.

Rescue my life from the sword,
my only life from the power of the dogs.

I may tell all my bones:
They look and stare upon me.
They part my garments among them,
And cast lots upon my vesture.
But be not thou far from me, O Lord:
O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Deliver my soul from the sword;
My darling from the power of the dog.
