Psalm 22:12–21

12 Many bullst surround me;u

strong bulls of Bashanv encircle me.

13 Roaring lionsw that tear their preyx

open their mouths widey against me.

14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.z

My heart has turned to wax;a

it has meltedb within me.

15 My mouthd is dried up like a potsherd,c

and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;d

you lay me in the duste of death.

16 Dogsf surround me,

a pack of villains encircles me;

they piercee g my hands and my feet.

17 All my bones are on display;

people stareh and gloat over me.i

18 They divide my clothes among them

and cast lotsj for my garment.k

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
