16. For dogs have surrounded me.A company of evildoers have enclosed me.They have pierced my hands and feet.
17. I can count all of my bones.They look and stare at me.
18. They divide my garments amongst them.They cast lots for my clothing.
19. But don’t be far off, Lord.You are my help: hurry to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword,my precious life from the power of the dog.
21. Save me from the lion’s mouth!Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
22. I will declare your name to my brothers.Amongst the assembly, I will praise you.
23. You who fear the Lord, praise him!All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him!Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel!
24. For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted,Neither has he hidden his face from him;but when he cried to him, he heard.
25. Of you comes my praise in the great assembly.I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
26. The humble shall eat and be satisfied.They shall praise the Lord who seek after him.Let your hearts live forever.
27. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord.All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
28. For the kingdom is the Lord’s.He is the ruler over the nations.
29. All the rich ones of the earth shall eat and worship.All those who go down to the dust shall bow before him,even he who can’t keep his soul alive.
30. Posterity shall serve him.Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
31. They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born,for he has done it.
