Psalms 22:20-30 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

20. Save me from the sword. Save my precious life from these dogs.

21. Rescue me from the lion’s mouth. Protect me from the horns of the bulls.

22. I will tell my people about you. I will praise you in the great assembly.

23. Praise the Lord, all you who worship him! Honor him, you descendants of Jacob! Fear and respect him, all you people of Israel!

24. He does not ignore those who need help. He does not hate them. He does not turn away from them. He listens when they cry for help.

25. Lord, because of you I offer praise in the great assembly. In front of all these worshipers I will do all that I promised.

26. Poor people, come eat and be satisfied. You who have come looking for the Lord, praise him! May your hearts be happy forever.

27. May those in faraway countries remember the Lord and come back to him. May those in distant lands worship him,

28. because the Lord is the King. He rules all nations.

29. The people have eaten all they wanted and bowed down to worship him. Yes, everyone will bow down to him— all who are on the way to the grave, unable to hold on to life.

30. Our descendants will serve him. Those who are not yet born will be told about him.
