Psalm 22:19–31
19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me.l
You are my strength;m come quicklyn to help me.o
20 Deliver me from the sword,p
my precious lifeq from the power of the dogs.r
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;s
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.t
22 I will declare your name to my people;
in the assemblyu I will praise you.v
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!w
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!x
Revere him,y all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despisedz or scorned
the suffering of the afflicted one;a
he has not hidden his faceb from him
but has listened to his cry for help.c
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;d
before those who fear youf I will fulfill my vows.e
26 The poor will eatf and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise him—g
may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earthh
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,i
28 for dominion belongs to the Lordj
and he rules over the nations.
29 All the richk of the earth will feast and worship;l
all who go down to the dustm will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.n
30 Posterityo will serve him;
future generationsp will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness,q
declaring to a people yet unborn:r
He has done it!s
