14I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart is like wax;

it is melted within me.e

15My strength is dry like a potsherd,

and my tongue is sticking to my jaws;

and you have placed me in the dust of death.

16Because dogs have surrounded me;

a gang of evildoers has encircled me.

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

Footnotes

  1. eLiterally “in the midst of my intestines”
  2. fOr “they gouge out” or “they bind.” Not the same word for “lion” found in vv. 14(13), 22(21). The Hebrew text presents such problems that any interpretation must be lightly held.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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;

my strength is dried up like a potsherd,

and my tongue sticks to my jaws;

you lay me in the dust of death.

For dogs encompass me;

a company of evildoers encircles me;

they have pierced my hands and feet—

NIVNew International Version (2011)

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.

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.

Dogs surround me,

a pack of villains encircles me;

they pierce my hands and my feet.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are disjointed;

my heart is like wax,

melting within me.

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.

For dogs have surrounded me;

a gang of evildoers has closed in on me;

they pierced my hands and my feet.

NLTNew Living Translation

My life is poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart is like wax,

melting within me.

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.

My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs;

an evil gang closes in on me.

They have pierced my hands and feet.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.

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.

For dogs have compassed me:

The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me:

They pierced my hands and my feet.
