NASB Bible

Psalms 22

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

1

 aMy God, my God, why have You forsaken me?  1 bFar from my deliverance are the words of my  2 cgroaning.

2

O my God, I  acry by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but  1I have no rest.

3

Yet  aYou are holy, O You who  1are 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  1disappointed.

6

But I am a  aworm and not a man, A  breproach of men and  cdespised by the people.

7

All who see me  1 asneer at me; They  2separate with the lip, they  bwag the head, saying,

8

1Commit yourself to the LORD;  alet Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him."

9

Yet You are He who  abrought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother's breasts.

10

Upon You I was cast  afrom  1birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb.

11

 aBe not far from me, for  1trouble is near; For there is  bnone to help.

12

Many  abulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of  bBashan have encircled me.

13

They  aopen wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring  blion.

14

I am  apoured out like water, And all my  bbones are out of joint; My  cheart is like wax; It is melted within  1me.

15

My  astrength is dried up like a potsherd, And  bmy tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You  clay me  1in the dust of death.

16

For  adogs have surrounded me;  1A band of evildoers has encompassed me;  2They  bpierced my hands and my feet.

17

I can count all my bones.  aThey look, they stare at me;

18

They  adivide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.

19

But You, O LORD,  abe not far off; O You my help,  bhasten to my assistance.

20

Deliver my  1soul from  athe sword, My  bonly life from the  2power of the dog.

21

Save me from the  alion's mouth; From the horns of the  bwild oxen You  canswer me.

22

I will  atell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.

23

 aYou who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you  1descendants of Jacob,  bglorify Him, And  cstand in awe of Him, all you  1descendants of Israel.

24

For He has  anot despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He  bhidden His face from him; But  cwhen he cried to Him for help, He heard.

25

From You comes  amy praise in the great assembly; I shall  bpay my vows before those who fear Him.

26

The  1afflicted will eat and  abe satisfied; Those who seek Him will  bpraise the LORD. Let your  cheart live forever!

27

All the  aends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, And all the  bfamilies of the nations will worship before  1You.

28

For the  akingdom is the LORD'S And He  brules over the nations.

29

All the  1 aprosperous of the earth will eat and worship, All those who  bgo down to the dust will bow before Him, Even he who  2 ccannot keep his soul alive.

30

 1 aPosterity will serve Him; It will be told of the Lord to  bthe coming generation.

31

They will come and  awill declare His righteousness To a people  bwho will be born, that He has performed it.
