16. For dogs have encompassed me; an assembly of evil-doers have surrounded me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I may count all my bones. They look, they stare upon me;
18. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
19. But thou, Jehovah, be not far from me; O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my only one from the power of the dog;
21. Save me from the lion's mouth. Yea, from the horns of the buffaloes hast thou answered me.
22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23. Ye that fear Jehovah, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and revere him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24. For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him: but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25. My praise is from thee, in the great congregation; I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26. The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise Jehovah that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.
27. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah, and all the families of the nations shall worship before thee:
28. For the kingdom is Jehovah's, and he ruleth among the nations.
29. All the fat ones of the earth shall eat and worship; all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him, and he that cannot keep alive his own soul.
