Parallel
Psalms 22
World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “The Doe of the Dawn.” A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why have You forsaken me (note: Cited in Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34)? Why are You so far from saving me, so far from my words of groaning?
My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer;
I cry out by day, O my God, but You do not answer, and by night, but I have no rest.
They cried to you, and were delivered.
They cried out to You and were set free; they trusted in You and were not disappointed.
But I am a worm, and no man;
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
“He trusts in the LORD.
“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him (note: Cited in Matthew 27:43).”
But you brought me out of the womb.
Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb.
From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near.
Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
They open their mouths wide against me,
They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
I am poured out like water.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My strength (note: MT; or My mouth, a possible reading of the original Hebrew text) is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
For dogs have surrounded me.
For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet (note: DSS, LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac; most MT like a lion at my hands and feet).
They divide my garments amongst them.
They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing (note: Cited in John 19:24; see also Matthew 27:35, Mark 15:24, and Luke 23:34).
But don’t be far off, LORD.
But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
Deliver my soul from the sword,
Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
Save me from the lion’s mouth!
Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
I will declare your name to my brothers.
I will proclaim Your name to my brothers; I will praise You in the assembly (note: LXX I will sing Your praises in the assembly; cited in Hebrews 2:12.).
You who fear the LORD, praise him!
You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All descendants of Jacob, honor Him! All offspring of Israel, revere Him!
For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,
For He has not despised or detested the torment of the afflicted. He has not hidden His face from him, but has attended to his cry for help.
My praise of you comes in the great assembly.
My praise for You resounds in the great assembly; I will fulfill my vows before those who fear You.
The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise Him. May your hearts live forever!
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD.
All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.
For the kingdom is the LORD’s.
For dominion belongs to the LORD and He rules over the nations.
All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship.
All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before Him—even those unable to preserve their lives.
Posterity shall serve him.
Posterity will serve Him; they will declare the Lord to a new generation.
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,
They will come and proclaim His righteousness to a people yet unborn—all that He has done.
