11. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; For there is none to help.
12. Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13. They gape upon me with their mouth, As a ravening and a roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.
15. 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.
16. For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I may count all my bones; They look and stare upon me.
18. They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
19. But be not thou far off, O Jehovah: O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword, My darling from the power of the dog.
21. Save me from the lion’s mouth; Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.
22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: In the midst of the assembly will I praise thee.
