Psalms 22:1-24:6
Chapter 22
Psalm 22
From Suffering to Praise
For the choir director: according to "The Deer of the Dawn."[a] A Davidic psalm.
1 My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?(a)
Why are You so far from my deliverance(b)
and from my words of groaning?[b](c)
2 My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer,
by night, yet I have no rest.(d)
3 But You are holy,
enthroned on the praises of Israel.(e)
4 Our fathers trusted in You;
they trusted, and You rescued them.(f)
5 They cried to You and were set free;
they trusted in You and were not disgraced.(g)
6 But I am a worm and not a man,(h)
scorned by men and despised by people.(i)
7 Everyone who sees me mocks me;
they sneer[c] and shake their heads:(j)
8 "He relies on[d] the
Lord
;
let Him rescue him;
let the
Lord
[e] deliver him,
since He takes pleasure in him."(k)
9 You took me from the womb,
making me secure while at my mother's breast.(l)
10 I was given over to You at birth;[f]
You have been my God from my mother's womb.(m)
11 Do not be far from me, because distress is near
and there is no one to help.(n)
12 Many bulls surround me;
strong ones of Bashan encircle me.(o)
13 They open their mouths against me—
lions, mauling and roaring.(p)
14 I am poured out like water,(q)
and all my bones are disjointed;(r)
my heart is like wax,
melting within me.(s)
15 My strength is dried up like baked clay;(t)
my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.(u)
You put me into the dust of death.(v)
16 For dogs have surrounded me;(w)
a gang of evildoers has closed in on me;
they pierced[g] my hands and my feet.(x)
17 I can count all my bones;
people[h] look and stare at me.(y)
18 They divided my garments among themselves,
and they cast lots for my clothing.(z)
19 But You,
Lord
, don't be far away.(aa)
My strength, come quickly to help me.(ab)
20 Deliver my life from the sword,(ac)
my only life[i] from the power of these dogs.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion!(ad)
You have rescued[j] me
from the horns of the wild oxen.
22 I will proclaim Your name to my brothers;
I will praise You in the congregation.(ae)
23 You who fear Yahweh, praise Him!(af)
All you descendants of Jacob, honor Him!
All you descendants of Israel, revere Him!(ag)
24 For He has not despised or detested
the torment of the afflicted.(ah)
He did not hide His face from him(ai)
but listened when he cried to Him for help.(aj)
25 I will give praise[k] in the great congregation
because of You;(ak)
I will fulfill my vows
before those who fear You.[l](al)
26 The humble[m] will eat and be satisfied;(am)
those who seek the
Lord
will praise Him.
May your hearts live forever!(an)
27 All the ends of the earth will remember
and turn to the
Lord
.
All the families of the nations
will bow down before You,(ao)
28 for kingship belongs to the
Lord
;
He rules over the nations.(ap)
29 All who prosper on earth will eat and bow down;
all those who go down to the dust
will kneel before Him—
even the one who cannot preserve his life.(aq)
30 Their descendants will serve Him;
the next generation will be told about the Lord.(ar)
31 They will come and tell a people yet to be born
about His righteousness—
what He has done.(as)
Chapter 23
Psalm 23
The Good Shepherd
A Davidic psalm.
1 The
Lord
is my shepherd;(a)
there is nothing I lack.(b)
2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;(c)
He leads me beside quiet waters.(d)
3 He renews my life;
He leads me along the right paths[a]
for His name's sake.(e)
4 Even when I go through the darkest valley,[b]
I fear no danger,
for You are with me;(f)
Your rod and Your staff[c]—they comfort me.(g)
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;(h)
my cup overflows.(i)
6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
all the days of my life,(j)
and I will dwell in[d] the house of the
Lord
as long as I live.[e](k)
Chapter 24
Psalm 24
The King of Glory
A Davidic psalm.
1 The earth and everything in it,
the world and its inhabitants,
belong to the
Lord
;(a)
2 for He laid its foundation on the seas
and established it on the rivers.(b)
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the
Lord
?
Who may stand in His holy place?(c)
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,(d)
who has not set his mind[a] on what is false,(e)
and who has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the
Lord
,(f)
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.(g)
6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.[b](h)
