Psalm 22:12-21 - Heartlight

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 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.

¹⁷I can count all my bones;

they stare and gloat over me.

¹⁸They divide my garments among them

and cast lots for my clothing.

¹⁹But You, O LORD, be not far off;

O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

²⁰Deliver my soul from the sword,

my precious life from the power of wild dogs.

²¹Save me from the mouth of the lion;

at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
