Chapter 21

1


 

  Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David.  

 

 

-

2


 

  O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.  

 

 

-

3


 

  O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.  

 

 

-

4


 

  But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.  

 

 

-

5


 

  In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.  

 

 

-

6


 

  They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.  

 

 

-

7


 

  But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.  

 

 

-

8


 

  All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.  

 

 

-

9


 

  He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.  

 

 

-

10


 

  For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.  

 

 

-

11


 

  I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God,  

 

 

-

12


 

  depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.  

 

 

-

14


 

  They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.  

 

 

-

15


 

  I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.  

 

 

-

16


 

  My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.  

 

 

-

17


 

  For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.  

 

 

-

18


 

  They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.  

 

 

-

19


 

  They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.  

 

 

-

20


 

  But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.  

 

 

-

23


 

  I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee.  

 

 

-

24


 

  Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.  

 

 

-

25


 

  Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face from me: and when I cried to him he heard me.  

 

 

-

26


 

  With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.  

 

 

-

27


 

  The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever.  

 

 

-

28


 

  All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight.  

 

 

-

29


 

  For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he shall have dominion over the nations.  

 

 

-

30


 

  All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.  

 

 

-

31


 

  And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him.  

 

 

-

32


 

  There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made.
