15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.
16. For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me;
18. They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.
19. But You, O Lord, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.
21. Save me from the lion's mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me.
22. I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You.
23. You who fear the Lord, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel.
24. For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; Nor has He hidden His face from him; But when he cried to Him for help, He heard.
25. From You comes my praise in the great assembly; I shall pay my vows before those who fear Him.
