American Standard Version

Psalm 22:7-17 American Standard Version (ASV)

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

8. Commit thyself unto Jehovah; Let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.

9. But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts.

10. I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.

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.
