Psalms 22 Background Information with Maps and Images (Picture Study Bible - Psalms) Free Bible Online

1 - My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

2 - My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer;in the night season, and am not silent.

3 - But you are holy,you who inhabit the praises of Israel.

4 - Our fathers trusted in you.They trusted, and you delivered them.

5 - They cried to you, and were delivered.They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.

6 - But I am a worm, and no man;a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7 - All those who see me mock me.They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

8 - "He trusts in The LORD.Let him deliver him.Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."

9 - But you brought me out of the womb.You made me trust while at my mother's breasts.

10 - I was thrown on you from my mother's womb.You are my God since my mother bore me.

11 - Don't be far from me, for trouble is near.For there is no one to help.

12 - Many bulls have surrounded me.Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

13 - They open their mouths wide against me,lions tearing prey and roaring.

14 - I am poured out like water.All my bones are out of joint.My heart is like wax;it is melted within me.

15 - My strength is dried up like a potsherd.My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.You have brought me into the dust of death.

16 - For dogs have surrounded me.A company of evildoers have enclosed me.They have pierced my hands and feet.

17 - I can count all of my bones.They look and stare at me.
