Chapter Text
22:1 To him that excelleth upon Aiieleth Hasshahar. A Psalme of Dauid. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, and art so farre from mine health, and from the wordes of my roaring?
22:2 O my God, I crie by day, but thou hearest not, and by night, but haue no audience.
22:3 But thou art holy, and doest inhabite the prayses of Israel.
22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didest deliuer them.
22:5 They called vpon thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
22:6 But I am a worme, and not a man: a shame of men, and the contempt of the people.
22:7 All they that see me, haue me in derision: they make a mowe and nod the head, saying,
22:8 He trusted in the Lord, let him deliuer him: let him saue him, seeing he loueth him.
22:9 But thou didest draw me out of ye wombe: thou gauest me hope, euen at my mothers breasts.
22:10 I was cast vpon thee, euen from ye wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly.
22:11 Be not farre from me, because trouble is neere: for there is none to helpe me.
22:12 Many yong bulles haue compassed me: mightie bulles of Bashan haue closed me about.
22:13 They gape vpon me with their mouthes, as a ramping and roaring lyon.
22:14 I am like water powred out, and all my bones are out of ioynt: mine heart is like waxe: it is molten in the middes of my bowels.
22:15 My strength is dryed vp like a potsheard, and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes, and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
22:16 For dogges haue compassed me, and the assemblie of the wicked haue inclosed me: they perced mine hands and my feete.
22:17 I may tell all my bones: yet they beholde, and looke vpon me.
22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lottes vpon my vesture.
22:19 But be thou not farre off, O Lord, my strength: hasten to helpe me.
22:20 Deliuer my soule from the sword: my desolate soule from the power of the dogge.
22:21 Saue me from the lyons mouth, and answere me in sauing me from the hornes of the vnicornes.
22:22 I wil declare thy Name vnto my brethren: in the middes of the Congregation will I praise thee, saying,
22:23 Prayse the Lord, ye that feare him: magnifie ye him, all the seede of Iaakob, and feare ye him, all the seede of Israel.
22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred ye affliction of the poore: neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he called vnto him, he heard.
22:25 My prayse shalbe of thee in the great Congregation: my vowes will I perfourme before them that feare him.
22:26 The poore shall eate and be satisfied: they that seeke after the Lord, shall prayse him: your heart shall liue for euer.
22:27 All the endes of the worlde shall remember themselues, and turne to the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
22:28 For the kingdome is the Lords, and he ruleth among the nations.
22:29 All they that be fat in the earth, shall eate and worship: all they that go downe into the dust, shall bowe before him, euen he that cannot quicken his owne soule.
22:30 Their seede shall serue him: it shalbe counted vnto the Lord for a generation.
22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shall be borne, because he hath done it.
