Book 27 : KETUVIM - PSALMS - Chapter 022
22:001
For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David
22:002
My G-d, my G-d, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from
my help at the words of my cry
22:003
O my G-d, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at
night, and there is no surcease for me
22:004
Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the
praises of Israel
22:005
In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst
deliver them
22:006
Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust,
and were not ashamed
22:007
But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and
despised of the people
22:008
All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the
lip, they shake the head
22:009
'Let him commit himself unto HaShem! let Him rescue him;
let Him deliver him, seeing He delighteth in him.
22:010
For Thou art He that took me out of the womb; Thou madest
me trust when I was upon my mother's breasts
22:011
Upon Thee I have been cast from my birth; Thou art my G-d
from my mother's womb
22:012
Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none
to help
22:013
Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan
have beset me round
22:014
They open wide their mouth against me, as a ravening and a
roaring lion
22:015
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of
joint; my heart is become like wax; it is melted in mine inmost parts
22:016
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue
cleaveth to my throat; and Thou layest me in the dust of death
22:017
For dogs have encompassed me; a company of evil-doers have
inclosed me; like a lion, they are at my hands and my feet
22:018
I may count all my bones; they look and gloat over me
22:019
They part my garments among them, and for my vesture do
they cast lots
22:020
But Thou, O HaShem, be not far off; O Thou my strength,
hasten to help me
22:021
Deliver my soul from the sword; mine only one from the
power of the dog
22:022
Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the
wild-oxen do Thou answer me
22:023
I will declare Thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of
the congregation will I praise Thee
22:024
'Ye that fear HaShem, praise Him; all ye the seed of
Jacob, glorify Him; and stand in awe of Him, all ye the seed of Israel
22:025
For He hath not despised nor abhorred the lowliness of the
poor; neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He
heard.
22:026
From Thee cometh my praise in the great congregation; I
will pay my vows before them that fear Him
22:027
Let the humble eat and be satisfied; let them praise
HaShem that seek after Him; may your heart be quickened for ever
22:028
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto
HaShem; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee
22:029
For the kingdom is HaShem'S; and He is the ruler over the
nations
22:030
All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all
they that go down to the dust shall kneel before Him, even he that cannot keep
his soul alive
22:031
A seed shall serve him; it shall be told of the L-rd unto
the next generation
22:032
They shall come and shall declare His righteousness unto a
people that shall be born, that He hath done it
