Psalm 22:17
Bible in Basic English
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
14 I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.
15 I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.
16 My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.
17 Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
18 I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:
19 They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.
20 Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
