Psalms 22:15-26

Psalms 22:15-26

[15] My strength  is dried up  like a potsherd;  and my tongue  cleaveth  to my jaws;  and thou hast brought  me into the dust  of death.  [16] For dogs  have compassed  me: the assembly  of the wicked  have inclosed  me: they pierced  my hands  and my feet.  [17] I may tell  all my bones:  they look  and stare  upon me. [18] They part  my garments  among them, and cast  lots  upon my vesture.  [19] But be not thou far  from me, O LORD:  O my strength,  haste  thee to help  [20] Deliver  my soul  from the sword;  my darling  from the power  of the dog.  [21] Save  me from the lion's  mouth:  for thou hast heard  me from the horns  of the unicorns.  [22] I will declare  thy name  unto my brethren:  in the midst  of the congregation  will I praise  [23] Ye that fear  the LORD,  praise  him; all ye the seed  of Jacob,  glorify  him; and fear  him, all ye the seed  of Israel.  [24] For he hath not despised  nor abhorred  the affliction  of the afflicted;  neither hath he hid  his face  from him; but when he cried  unto him, he heard.  [25] My praise  shall be of thee in the great  congregation:  I will pay  my vows  before them that fear  [26] The meek  shall eat  and be satisfied:  they shall praise  the LORD  that seek  him: your heart  shall live  for ever.
