Psalms 22:10-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
10I was cast upon You from birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb. 11Do not be far from me, for trouble is near; For there is no one to help. 12Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. 13They open their mouths wide at me, As a ravening and roaring lion. 14I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. 15My strength is dried up like a piece of pottery, And my tongue clings to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death. 16For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.King James Version
11Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14I 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.
15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
Christian Standard Bible
11Don't be far from me, because distress is near and there's no one to help.
12Many bulls surround me; strong ones of Bashan encircle me.
13They open their mouths against me -- lions, mauling and roaring.
14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax, melting within me.
15My strength is dried up like baked clay; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You put me into the dust of death.
16For dogs have surrounded me; a gang of evildoers has closed in on me; they pierced my hands and my feet.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
10I was thrust into your arms at my birth. You have been my God from the moment I was born.
11Do not stay so far from me, for trouble is near, and no one else can help me.
12My enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; fierce bulls of Bashan have hemmed me in!
13Like lions they open their jaws against me, roaring and tearing into their prey.
14My life is poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me.
15My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead.
16My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
10On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother’s womb you have been my God. 11Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help. 12Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me; 13they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. 14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast; 15my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death. 16For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet—New International Version
11Do not be far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
12Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13Roaring lions that tear their prey open their mouths wide against me.
14I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has turned to wax; it has melted within me.
New King James Version
