Psalm 22:1-18

New King James Version

³ But You are holy,
Enthroned in the ^(B)praises of Israel.
⁴ Our fathers trusted in You;
They trusted, and You delivered them.
⁵ They cried to You, and were delivered;
^(C)They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.

⁶ But I am ^(D)a worm, and no man;
^(E)A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
^7 (F)All those who see Me ridicule Me;
They ^[b]shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
⁸ “He^{(G) [c]}trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him;
^(H)Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!”

^9 (I)But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
¹⁰ I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
^(J)You have been My God.
¹¹ Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

^12 (K)Many bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of ^(L)Bashan have encircled Me.
^13 (M)They ^[d]gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water,
^(N)And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted ^[e]within Me.
^15 (O)My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And ^(P)My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.

¹⁶ For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
^(Q)They^[f] pierced My hands and My feet;
¹⁷ I can count all My bones.
^(R)They look and stare at Me.
^18 (S)They divide My garments among them,
And for My clothing they cast lots.
