PSAL. XXII.

[1]

My God, my God why hast thou me

forsaken? why so far
Art thou from helping me, and from
my words that roaring are?

2

All day, my God, to thee I cry,

yet am not heard by thee;
And in the season of the night
I cannot silent be.

3

But thou art holy, thou that dost

inhabite Israels praise

4

Our fathers hop'd in thee, they hop'd,

and thou didst them release.

5

When unto thee they sent their cry,

to them deliverance came;
Because they put their trust in thee,
they were not put to shame.

6

But as for me, a worm I am,

and as no man am pris'd.
Reproach of men I am, and by
the people am dispis'd.

7

All that me see laugh me to scorn:

shoot out the lip do they,
They nod & shake their heads at me,
and mocking, thus do say,

8

This man did trust in God, that he

would free him by his might;
Let him deliver him, sith he
had in him such delight.

9

But thou art he out of the womb

that didst me safely take;
When I was on my mothers breasts,
thou me to hope didst make.

10

And I was cast upon thy care,

ev'n from the womb til now;
And from my mothers belly, Lord,
my God and guide art thou.

11

Be not far off, for grief is near;

and none to help is found.

12

Buls many compasse me; strong buls

of Bashan me surround.

13

Their mouths they op'ned wide on me,

upon me gape did they,
Like to a Lion ravening
and roaring for his prey.

14

Like water I'm pour'd out, my bones

all out of joynt do part:
Amidst my bowels, as the wax,
so melted is my heart.

15

My strength is like a potsherd dri'd:

my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
of death thou brought me hast.

16

For dogs have compast me about:

the wicked, that did meet
In their assembly, me inclos'd,
they pierc'd my hands and feet.

17

I all my bones may tell: they do

upon me look and stare.

18

Upon my vesture lots they cast,

and clothes among them share.

19

But be not far, O Lord, my strength;

haste to give help to me.

20

From sword my soul, from pow'r of dogs

my darling set thou free

21

Out of the roaring Lions mouth

do thou me shield and save:
For from the horns of Unicorns
an ear to me thou gave.

22

I will shew forth thy Name unto

those that my brethren are:
Amidst the congregation
thy praise I wil declare.

23

Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear;

him glorifie, all ye
The seed of Jacob; fear him all
that Isra'ls children be.

24

For he despis'd not, nor abhor'd

th'afflicteds misery:
Nor from him hid his face, but heard
when he to him did cry.

25

Within the congregation great

my praise shall be of thee:
My vows before them that him fear
shall be perform'd by me.

26

The meek shal eat, and shalbe fil'd;

they also praise shal give
Unto the Lord that do him seek;
your heart shal ever live.


27

All ends of th'earth remember shal,

and turn the Lord unto;
All kindreds of the nations
to him shal homage do.

28

Because the Kingdom to the Lord

doth appertain, as his:
Likewise among the nations
the governour he is.

29

Earth, fat ones eat & worship shal:

all who to dust descend
Shal bow to him: none of them can
his soul from death defend.

30

A seed shal service do to him,

unto the Lord it shal
Be for a generation
reck'ned in ages all.

31

They shal come, & they shal declare

his truth and righteousnesse
Unto a people yet unborn,
and that he hath done this.
