Psalms 22:8-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. All who see me mock me;they curl their lips and jeer;they shake their heads at me:

9. “He relied on the Lord—let him deliver him;if he loves him, let him rescue him.”

10. For you drew me forth from the womb,made me safe at my mother’s breasts.

11. Upon you I was thrust from the womb;since my mother bore me you are my God.

12. Do not stay far from me,for trouble is near,and there is no one to help.

13. Many bulls surround me;fierce bulls of Bashan encircle me.

14. They open their mouths against me,lions that rend and roar.

15. Like water my life drains away;all my bones are disjointed.My heart has become like wax,it melts away within me.

16. As dry as a potsherd is my throat;my tongue cleaves to my palate;you lay me in the dust of death.

17. Dogs surround me;a pack of evildoers closes in on me.They have pierced my hands and my feet

18. I can count all my bones.They stare at me and gloat;

19. they divide my garments among them;for my clothing they cast lots.
