17. For many dogs have surrounded me. The council of the malicious has besieged me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
18. They have numbered all my bones. And they have examined me and stared at me.
19. They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment, they cast lots.
20. But you, O Lord, do not take your help far from me; be attentive to my defense.
21. O God, rescue my soul from the spear, and my only one from the hand of the dog.
22. Save me from the mouth of the lion, and my humility from the horns of single-horned beast.
23. I will declare your name to my brothers. In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.
24. You who fear the Lord, praise him. All the offspring of Jacob, glorify him.
25. May all the offspring of Israel fear him. For he has neither spurned nor despised the pleas of the poor. Neither has he turned his face away from me. And when I cried out to him, he heeded me.
26. My praise is with you, within a great church. I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him.
27. The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who yearn for the Lord will praise him. Their hearts will live forever and ever.
28. All the ends of the earth will remember, and they will be converted to the Lord. And all the families of the Gentiles will adore in his sight.
29. For the kingdom belongs to the Lord, and he will have dominion over the Gentiles.
30. All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground.
31. And my soul will live for him, and my offspring will serve him.
32. There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.
