The Psalms, starting at chapter 22
Psalm 22
For the Chief Musician; set to "The Doe of the Morning." A Psalm by
David.
{22:1} My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my
groaning?
{22:2} My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer;
in the night season, and am not silent.
{22:3} But you are holy,
you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
{22:4} Our fathers trusted in you.
They trusted, and you delivered them.
{22:5} They cried to you, and were delivered.
They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
{22:6} But I am a worm, and no man;
a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
{22:7} All those who see me mock me.
They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
{22:8} "He trusts in the LORD;
let him deliver him.
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."
{22:9} But you brought me out of the womb.
You made me trust at my mother's breasts.
{22:10} I was thrown on you from my mother's womb.
You are my God since my mother bore me.
{22:11} Don't be far from me, for trouble is near.
For there is none to help.
{22:12} Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
{22:13} They open their mouths wide against me,
lions tearing prey and roaring.
{22:14} I am poured out like water.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
it is melted within me.
{22:15} My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death.
{22:16} For dogs have surrounded me.
A company of evildoers have enclosed me.
[1>]They have pierced my hands and feet.[<1]
{22:17} I can count all of my bones.
They look and stare at me.
{22:18} They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing.
{22:19} But don't be far off, LORD.
You are my help: hurry to help me.
{22:20} Deliver my soul from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dog.
{22:21} Save me from the lion's mouth!
Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
{22:22} I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the assembly, I will praise you.
{22:23} You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
{22:24} For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted,
Neither has he hidden his face from him;
but when he cried to him, he heard.
{22:25} Of you comes my praise in the great assembly.
I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
{22:26} The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They shall praise the LORD who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever.
{22:27} All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the LORD.
All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
{22:28} For the kingdom is the LORD's.
He is the ruler over the nations.
{22:29} All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship.
All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,
even he who can't keep his soul alive.
{22:30} Posterity shall serve him.
Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
{22:31} They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a
people that shall be born,
for he has done it.
Psalm 23
A Psalm by David.
{23:1} The LORD is my shepherd:
I shall lack nothing.
{23:2} He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
{23:3} He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
{23:4} Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
{23:5} You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil.
My cup runs over.
{23:6} Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the
days of my life,
and I will dwell in the LORD's house forever.
Psalm 24
A Psalm by David.
{24:1} The earth is the LORD's, with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell therein.
{24:2} For he has founded it on the seas,
and established it on the floods.
{24:3} Who may ascend to the LORD's hill?
Who may stand in his holy place?
{24:4} He who has clean hands and a pure heart;
who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood,
and has not sworn deceitfully.
{24:5} He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
righteousness from the God of his salvation.
{24:6} This is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek your face--even Jacob.
Selah.
{24:7} Lift up your heads, you gates!
Be lifted up, you everlasting doors,
and the King of glory will come in.
{24:8} Who is the King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
{24:9} Lift up your heads, you gates;
yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors,
and the King of glory will come in.
{24:10} Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of Hosts is the King of glory!
Selah.
