13. They open their mouths at melike a lion ripping and roaring!
14. I’m poured out like water.All my bones have fallen apart.My heart is like wax;it melts inside me.
15. My strength is dried uplike a piece of broken pottery.My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;you’ve set me down in the dirt of death.
16. Dogs surround me;a pack of evil people circle me like a lion—oh, my poor hands and feet!
17. I can count all my bones!Meanwhile, they just stare at me, watching me.
18. They divvy up my garments among themselves;they cast lots for my clothes.
19. But you, Lord! Don’t be far away!You are my strength!Come quick and help me!
20. Deliver me from the sword.Deliver my life from the power of the dog.
