12. Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13. They open wide their mouth at me, 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 within me.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.
16. For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me;
18. They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.
19. But You, O Lord, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog.
