14 And they have opened their mouths against me, like a lion that hungers for prey and roars.

15 I poured out like water; all my bones are scattered; My heart became like wax, melted in the midst of my inward parts.

16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; my tongue cleaveth to my throat, and Thou hast brought me down to the dust of death.

17 For the dogs have surrounded me, and the crowd of wicked men have gathered round me, and have pierced my hands and my feet.

18 All my bones could be numbered; but they look and make a spectacle of me;

19 They divide my garments among themselves, and cast lots for my garments.

20 But thou, O Lord, depart not from me; My strength! hasten to help me;

21 deliver my soul from the sword, and my lonely one from dogs;

22 Save me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the unicorns: when you hear, deliver me.

23 I will declare your name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.

24 Those who fear the Lord! praise Him. All the seed of Jacob! glorify Him. Let all the seed of Israel fear him;

25 for he did not despise or despise the affliction of the afflicted, nor hid his face from him, but heard him when he cried unto him.

26 In thee is my praise in the great assembly; I will make my vows before them that fear him.

27 Let the poor eat and be satisfied; let those who seek Him praise the Lord; let your hearts live forever!

28 All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall turn unto the Lord, and all the nations of the Gentiles shall worship before thee,

29 for the Lord is the kingdom, and he is Lord over the nations.

30 All the rich lands will eat and worship; all those who descend into the dust, and are not able to preserve their lives, will bow down before Him.

31 And [my] seed shall serve him, and shall be called the Lord's for ever;

32 They will come and declare His righteousness to the people who are born, what the Lord has made.
