17. I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18. They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
19. But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help: hurry to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
21. Save me from the lion’s mouth! Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
22. I will declare your name to my brothers. Among the assembly, I will praise you.
23. You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him! Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
24. For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.
25. Of you comes my praise in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26. The humble shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise Yahweh who seek after him. Let your hearts live forever.
27. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28. For the kingdom is Yahweh’s. He is the ruler over the nations.
