Psalms 22:13-21

Leeser(i) 13 (22:14) They have opened wide against me their mouth, as a ravenous and roaring lion. 14 (22:15) Like water am I poured out, and all my bones are disjointed: my heart is become like wax, it is melted in the midst of my entrails. 15 (22:16) Like a potsherd is my strength dried up; and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and into the dust of death hast thou laid me down. 16 (22:17) For dogs have encompassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: like lions they threaten my hands and my feet. 17 (22:18) I may number all my bones: while they stare and look upon me. 18 (22:19) They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my garment do they cast lots. 19 (22:20) But thou, O Lord, be not far from me: O thou who art my strength, hasten to my aid. 20 (22:21) Deliver from the sword my life, from the power of the dog my solitary soul. 21 (22:22) Save me from the lion’s mouth; as thou hast answered me from the horns of the reem.
