ACV(i)
12 Many bulls have encompassed me. Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me around.
13 They gape upon me with their mouth, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water, and 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, and my tongue clings to my jaws, and thou have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have encompassed me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may count all my bones. They look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast a lot.
19 But be thou not far off, O LORD. O thou my succor, hasten thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, the only one of me from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth, yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen. Thou have answered me.
