Psalm 22 — Psalms 22:12–17

Many bulls have compassed me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.

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.

For dogs have compassed me:
A company of evil-doers have inclosed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.

I may count all my bones.
They look and stare upon me;
