ESVEnglish Standard Version

Many bulls encompass me;

strong bulls of Bashan surround me;

they open wide their mouths at me,

like a ravening and roaring lion.

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—

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Many bulls surround me;

strong ones of Bashan encircle me.

They open their mouths against me—

lions, mauling and roaring.

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 enemies surround me like a herd of bulls;

fierce bulls of Bashan have hemmed me in!

Like lions they open their jaws against me,

roaring and tearing into their prey.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Many bulls have encircled me;

mighty bulls of Bashan have surrounded me.

They open their mouth against me

like a lion tearing and roaring.

I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart is like wax;

it is melted within me.

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.

Because dogs have surrounded me;

a gang of evildoers has encircled me.

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

KJV 1900King James Version

Many bulls have compassed me:

Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

They gaped upon me with their mouths,

As a ravening and a roaring lion.

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.
