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.
