10. I was cast upon you from birth: you are my God from my mother's womb.
11. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round about.
13. They gaped on me with their mouths, as a ravening and a 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 in the midst of my body.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue clings to my jaws; and you have brought me to the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I can count all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18. They part my garments among them, and cast lots for my clothing.
19. But be not far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste you to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my life from the power of the dog.
21. Save me from the lion's mouth: for you have heard me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22. I will declare your name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
23. You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you descendants of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you descendants of Israel.
24. For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25. My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
