12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13. They gape upon me with their mouth, 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 bowels.
15. My Strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of evil-doers have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I may tell all my bones; they look and stare upon me:
18. They part my garments among them, and upon my vesture do they cast lots.
19. But be not thou far off, O Lord: O thou my succour, haste thee to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog;
