Psalm 22:11–19

¹¹Be not far from me,

for trouble is near

and there is no one to help.

¹²Many bulls surround me;

strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

¹³They open their jaws against me

like lions that roar and maul.

¹⁴I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are disjointed.

My heart is like wax;

it melts away within me.

¹⁵My strength^c is dried up like a potsherd,

and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.

You lay me in the dust of death.

¹⁶For dogs surround me;

a band of evil men encircles me;

they have pierced my hands and feet.^d

¹⁷I can count all my bones;

they stare and gloat over me.

¹⁸They divide my garments among them

and cast lots for my clothing.^e

¹⁹But You, O LORD, be not far off;

O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
