YLT Psalms 22 Chapter
22:1
To the Overseer, on `The Hind of the Morning.' -- A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?
22:2
My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.
22:3
And Thou [art] holy, Sitting -- the Praise of Israel.
22:4
In Thee did our fathers trust -- they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.
22:5
Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.
22:6
And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
22:7
All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip -- shake the head,
22:8
`Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'
22:9
For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.
22:10
On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.
22:11
Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
22:12
Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
22:13
They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.
22:14
As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
22:15
Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
22:16
And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
22:17
I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look upon me,
22:18
They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
22:19
And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.
22:20
Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.
22:21
Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!
22:22
I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.
22:23
Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.
22:24
For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.
22:25
Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.
22:26
The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.
22:27
Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,
22:28
For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.
22:29
And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he [who] hath not revived his soul.
22:30
A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
22:31
They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
