12. Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;
13. they open wide their mouths at me,like a ravening and roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water,and all my bones are out of joint;my heart is like wax;it is melted within my breast;
15. my strength is dried up like a potsherd,and my tongue sticks to my jaws;you lay me in the dust of death.
16. For dogs encompass me;a company of evildoers encircles me;they have pierced my hands and feet—
17. I can count all my bones—they stare and gloat over me;
18. they divide my garments among them,and for my clothing they cast lots.
19. But you, O Lord, do not be far off!O you my help, come quickly to my aid!
