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.
