Tehillim, starting at chapter 22
Psalm 22
For the Chief Musician; set to "The Doe of the Morning." A Psalm by
David.
{22:1} My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my
groaning?
{22:2} My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don't answer;
In the night season, and am not silent.
{22:3} But you are holy,
You who inhabit the praises of Yisra'el.
{22:4} Our fathers trusted in you.
They trusted, and you delivered them.
{22:5} They cried to you, and were delivered.
They trusted in you, and were not put to shame.
{22:6} But I am a worm, and no man;
A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
{22:7} All those who see me mock me.
They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
{22:8} "He trusts in the LORD;
Let him deliver him;
Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."
{22:9} But you brought me out of the womb.
You made me trust at my mother's breasts.
{22:10} I was thrown on you from my mother's womb.
You are my God since my mother bore me.
{22:11} Don't be far from me, for trouble is near.
For there is none to help.
{22:12} Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
{22:13} They open their mouths wide against me,
Lions tearing prey and roaring.
{22:14} I am poured out like water.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
{22:15} My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death.
{22:16} For dogs have surrounded me.
A company of evil-doers have enclosed me.
They pierced my hands and my feet.
{22:17} I can count all of my bones.
They look and stare at me.
{22:18} They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing.
{22:19} But don't be far off, LORD.
You are my help: hurry to help me.
{22:20} Deliver my soul from the sword,
My precious life from the power of the dog.
{22:21} Save me from the lion's mouth;
Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen you have answered me.
{22:22} I will declare your name to my brothers.
In the midst of the assembly, will I praise you.
{22:23} You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you descendants of Ya`akov, glorify him!
Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Yisra'el!
{22:24} For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the
afflicted,
Neither has he hid his face from him;
But when he cried to him, he heard.
{22:25} Of you comes my praise in the great assembly.
I will pay my vows before those who fear him.
{22:26} The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
They shall praise the LORD who seek after him.
Let your hearts live forever.
{22:27} All the ends of the [1>]eretz[<1] shall remember and turn to
the LORD.
All the relatives of the nations shall worship before you.
{22:28} For the kingdom is the LORD's.
He is the ruler over the nations.
{22:29} All the rich ones of the [2>]eretz[<2] 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.
{22:30} Posterity shall serve him.
Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
{22:31} They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a
people that shall be born,
For he has done it.
Psalm 23
A Psalm by David.
{23:1} The LORD is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.
{23:2} He makes me to lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
{23:3} He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
{23:4} Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
{23:5} You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed my head with oil.
My cup runs over.
{23:6} Surely goodness and lovingkindness shall follow me all the days
of my life,
And I shall dwell in the LORD's house forever.
Psalm 24
A Psalm by David.
{24:1} The [1>]eretz[<1] is the LORD's, with its fullness;
The world, and those who dwell therein.
{24:2} For he has founded it on the seas,
And established it on the floods.
{24:3} Who may ascend to the LORD's hill?
Who may stand in his holy place?
{24:4} He who has clean hands and a pure heart;
Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood,
And has not sworn deceitfully.
{24:5} He shall receive a blessing from the LORD,
Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
{24:6} This is the generation of those who seek Him,
Who seek your face -- even Ya`akov.
Selah.
{24:7} Lift up your heads, you gates;
Be lifted up, you everlasting doors:
The King of glory will come in.
{24:8} Who is the King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
The LORD mighty in battle.
{24:9} Lift up your heads, you gates;
Yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors:
The King of glory will come in.
{24:10} Who is this King of glory?
The LORD of Hosts,
He is the King of glory.
Selah.
