14. As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15. Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
16. And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
17. I count all my bones--they look expectingly, They look upon me,
18. They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
19. And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.
20. Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.
21. Save me from the mouth of a lion: --And--from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!
22. I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.
23. Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.
24. For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.
25. Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.
26. The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.
27. Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,
28. For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.
29. And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he [who] hath not revived his soul.
30. A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
31. They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
