22:1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?

22:2O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.

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

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

22:5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.

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

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

22:8He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

22:9But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

22:10I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.

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

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

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

22:14I 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.

22:15My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

22:16For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.

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

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

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

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

22:21Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

22:22I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.

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

22:24For 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.

22:25My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.

22:26The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

22:27All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

22:28For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.

22:29All 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.

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

22:31They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.

23:1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

23:2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

23:3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

23:4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

23:5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

23:6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

28:1Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit.

28:2Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle.

28:3Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

28:4Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.

28:5Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

28:6Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.

28:7The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.

28:8The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

28:9Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

114:1When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language;

114:2Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion.

114:3The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back.

114:4The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.

114:5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?

114:6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs?

114:7Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob;

114:8Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
