Psalm 22 – A Song of Worship and Reflection

Psalm 22

22:1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far

from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

22:2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the

night season, and am not silent.

22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.

22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver

them.

22:5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee,

and were not confounded.

22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of

the people.

22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip,

they shake the head, saying,

22:8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver

him, seeing he delighted in him.

22:9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me

hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my

mother’s belly.

22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to

help.

22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset

me round.

22:13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a

roaring lion.

22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint:

my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.

22:15 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.

22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have

inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee

to help me.

22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the

dog.

22:21 Save me from the lion’s mouth: for thou hast heard me from the

horns of the unicorns.

22:22 I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the

congregation will I praise thee.

22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob,

glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

22:24 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.

22:25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay

my vows before them that fear him.

22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD

that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD:

and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the

nations.

22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they

that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive

his own soul.

22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a

generation.

22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a

people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
