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.
