NASB — Psalms 22 — KJV

A Cry of Anguish and a Song of Praise.

For the choir director; upon Aijeleth Hashshahar. A Psalm of David.

  1 aMy God°, my God°, why° have You forsaken° me?
  IbFar° from my deliverance° are the words° of my IIcgroaning°.
  2 O my God°, I acry° by day°, but You do not answer°;
  And by night°, but II have no° rest°.
  3 Yet aYou are holy°,
  O You who Iare enthroned° upon bthe praises° of Israel°.
  4 In You our fathers° atrusted°;
  They trusted° and You bdelivered° them.
  5 To You they cried° out and were delivered°;
  aIn You they trusted° and were not Idisappointed°.

David complaineth in great discouragement.

1 ¶ [[To the chief Musicianºª upon² Aijelethº Shahar,º A Psalmº of David.]]º My God,º my God,º why² hast thou forsakenºª me? [why art thou so] farº from helpingº² me, [and from] the wordsº of my roaring?º 2 O my God,º I cryºª in the daytime,º but thou hearestºª not;² and in the night season,º and am not² silent.º 3 But thou² [art] holy,º [O thou] that inhabitestºª the praisesº of Israel.º 4 Our fathersº trustedºª in thee: they trusted,ºª and thou didst deliverºª them. 5 They criedºª unto² thee, and were delivered:ºª they trustedºª in thee, and were not² confounded.ºª 6 But I² [am] a worm,º and no² man;º a reproachº of men,º and despisedºª of the people.º 7 All² they that seeºª me laugh² me to scorn:¹ª they shoot out¹ª² the lip,º they shakeºª the head,º [saying], 8 He trustedºª on² the LORDº [that] he would deliverºª him: let him deliverºª him, seeing² he delightedºª in him.

He prayeth in great distress.

9 But² thou² [art] he that tookºª me out of the womb:º² thou didst make me hopeºª [when I was] upon² my mother'sº breasts.º 10 I was castºª upon² thee from the womb:º² thou² [art] my Godº from my mother'sº belly.º² 11 Be not² farºª from² me; for² troubleº [is] near;º for² [there is] none² to help.ºª 12 Manyº bullsº have compassedºª me: strongº [bulls] of Bashanº have beset me round.ºª 13 They gapedºª upon² me [with] their mouths,º [as] a raveningºª and a roaringºª lion.º 14 I am poured outºª like water,º and all² my bonesº are out of joint:ºª my heartº is² like wax;º it is meltedºª in the midstº of my bowels.º 15 My strengthº is dried upºª like a potsherd;º and my tongueº cleavethºª to my jaws;º and thou hast broughtºª me into the dustº of death.º 16 For² dogsº have compassedºª me: the assemblyº of the wickedºª have inclosedºª me: they piercedº¹ªª my handsº and my feet.º 17 I may tellºª all² my bones:º they² lookºª [and] stareºª upon me. 18 They partºª my garmentsº among them, and castºª lotsº upon² my vesture.º 19 But be not² thou² farºª from me, O LORD:º O my strength,º hasteºª thee to helpº me. 20 Deliverºª my soulº from the sword;º² my darlingº from the powerº² of the dog.º 21 Saveºª me from the lion'sº mouth:º² for thou hast heardºª me from the hornsº² of the unicorns.º 22 I will declareºª thy nameº unto my brethren:º in the midstº of the congregationº will I praiseºª thee.
