14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15. My Strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of evil-doers have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I may tell all my bones; they look and stare upon me:
18. They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast lots.
19. But be not thou far off, O LORD: O thou my succour, haste thee to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog;
21. Save me from the lion's mouth; yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast answered me.
22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
