Psalms 22:20-31 Common English Bible (CEB)

20. Deliver me from the sword.Deliver my life from the power of the dog.

21. Save me from the mouth of the lion.From the horns of the wild oxenyou have answered me!

22. I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters;I will praise you in the very center of the congregation!

23. All of you who revere the Lord—praise him!All of you who are Jacob’s descendants—honor him!All of you who are all Israel’s offspring—stand in awe of him!

24. Because he didn’t despise or detestthe suffering of the one who suffered—he didn’t hide his face from me.No, he listened when I cried out to him for help.

25. I offer praise in the great congregationbecause of you;I will fulfill my promisesin the presence of those who honor God.

26. Let all those who are suffering eat and be full!Let all who seek the Lord praise him!I pray your hearts live forever!

27. Every part of the earthwill remember and come back to the Lord;every family among all the nations will worship you.

28. Because the right to rule belongs to the Lord, he rules all nations.

29. Indeed, all the earth’s powerfulwill worship him;all who are descending to the dustwill kneel before him;my being also lives for him.

30. Future descendants will serve him;generations to come will be told about my Lord.

31. They will proclaim God’s righteousnessto those not yet born,telling them what God has done.
