11. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is no one to help.
12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round about.
13. They opened their mouth upon me 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 in the midst of my bowels.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked 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 cast lots upon my vesture.
19. But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my life from the power of the dog.
21. Save me from the lion’s mouth and from the horns of the unicorns.
22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren; in the midst of the congregation I will praise thee.
23. Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24. For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor in spirit; neither has he hid his face from him, but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25. My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before those that fear him.
