Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 22
For the Chief Musician; set to Aijeleth hash-Shahar. A Psalm of David.
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?Mat 27:46; Mrk 15:34
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answerest not;
And in the night season, and am not silent.
But thou art holy,
O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Our fathers trusted in thee:
They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.Psa 107:6
They cried unto thee, and were delivered:
They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.Psa 25:2
But I am a worm, and no man;
A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
All they that see me laugh me to scorn:
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,Mat 27:39
Commit thyself unto Jehovah; let him deliver him:
Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.Mat 27:43
But thou art he that took me out of the womb;
Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts.Psa 71:6
I was cast upon thee from the womb;
Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
Be not far from me; for trouble is near;
For there is none to help.
Many bulls have compassed me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.Amo 4:1; Mat 27:20
They gape upon me with their mouth,
As a ravening and a roaring lion.
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint:
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws;
And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.Jhn 19:28
For dogs have compassed me:
A company of evil-doers have inclosed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.Mat 27:27
I may count all my bones.
They look and stare upon me;Luk 23:35
They part my garments among them,
And upon my vesture do they cast lots.Mat 27:35; Mrk 15:24; Luk 23:34; Jhn 19:24
But be not thou far off, O Jehovah:
O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
Deliver my soul from the sword,
My darling from the power of the dog.
Save me from the lion’s mouth;
Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren:
In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.Jhn 20:17; Heb 2:12
Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him;
All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him;
And stand in awe of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted;
Neither hath he hid his face from him;
But when he cried unto him, he heard.Heb 5:7
Of thee cometh my praise in the great assembly:
I will pay my vows before them that fear him.Psa 35:18
The meek shall eat and be satisfied;
They shall praise Jehovah that seek after him:
Let your heart live for ever.Sng 5:1; Isa 65:13; Luk 1:53
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah;
And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.Psa 2:8; Isa 60:14
For the kingdom is Jehovah’s;
And he is the ruler over the nations.Dan 7:27; Mat 6:10
All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship:
All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him,
Even he that cannot keep his soul alive.Isa 25:6; Isa 49:23
A seed shall serve him;
It shall be told of the Lord unto the next generation.Isa 53:10
They shall come and shall declare his righteousness
Unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done it.
