Psalms, 22

New Jerusalem Bible

1 [For the choirmaster To 'the Doe of the Dawn' Psalm Of David] My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? The words of my groaning do nothing to save me.

2 My God, I call by day but you do not answer, at night, but I find no respite.

3 Yet you, the Holy One, who make your home in the praises of Israel,

4 in you our ancestors put their trust, they trusted and you set them free.

5 To you they called for help and were delivered; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.

6 But I am a worm, less than human, scorn of mankind, contempt of the people;

7 all who see me jeer at me, they sneer and wag their heads,

8 'He trusted himself to Yahweh, let Yahweh set him free! Let him deliver him, as he took such delight in him.'

9 It was you who drew me from the womb and soothed me on my mother's breast.

10 On you was I cast from my birth, from the womb I have belonged to you.

11 Do not hold aloof, for trouble is upon me, and no one to help me!

12 Many bulls are encircling me, wild bulls of Bashan closing in on me.

13 Lions ravening and roaring open their jaws at me.

14 My strength is trickling away, my bones are all disjointed, my heart has turned to wax, melting inside me.

15 My mouth is dry as earthenware, my tongue sticks to my jaw. You lay me down in the dust of death.

16 A pack of dogs surrounds me, a gang of villains closing in on me as if to hack off my hands and my feet.

17 I can count every one of my bones, while they look on and gloat;

18 they divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.

19 Yahweh, do not hold aloof! My strength, come quickly to my help,

20 rescue my soul from the sword, the one life I have from the grasp of the dog!

21 Save me from the lion's mouth, my poor life from the wild bulls' horns!

22 I shall proclaim your name to my brothers, praise you in full assembly:

23 'You who fear Yahweh, praise him! All the race of Jacob, honour him! Revere him, all the race of Israel!'

24 For he has not despised nor disregarded the poverty of the poor, has not turned away his face, but has listened to the cry for help.

25 Of you is my praise in the thronged assembly, I will perform my vows before all who fear him.

26 The poor will eat and be filled, those who seek Yahweh will praise him, 'May your heart live for ever.'

27 The whole wide world will remember and return to Yahweh, all the families of nations bow down before him.

28 For to Yahweh, ruler of the nations, belongs kingly power!

29 All who prosper on earth will bow before him, all who go down to the dust will do reverence before him. And those who are dead,

30 their descendants will serve him, will proclaim his name to generations

31 still to come; and these will tell of his saving justice to a people yet unborn: he has fulfilled it.

Psalm 22 is a poem that expresses the suffering and anguish of the psalmist in the face of the adversities of life. He begins with the words "God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" and continues to describe the physical and emotional pain he is facing. The following verses are examples of biblical passages that relate to the topics covered in Psalm 22:

Isaiah 53:3: "He was despised and the most rejected among men; man of pain and who knows what it is to suffer; and, as one of whom men hide the face, was despised, and we did not make a case." This verse talks about the Messiah suffering and being rejected by men, which is an image that is often associated with the suffering described in Psalm 22.

Psalm 69:20: "The reproach broke my heart, and I am sick; I waited for pity, but debalde; by comforters, and I didn't find them." This verse talks about the loneliness and pain that the psalmist feels, and these feelings are expressed similarly in Psalm 22.

Lamentations 1:12: "Do not move you this, all who pass the way? Answering and see if there is pain like my pain, which was brought upon me, with which the Lord afflicted me on the day of the wrath of his wrath." This verse also expresses the pain and affliction of suffering, which is a common theme throughout Psalm 22.

Matthew 27:46: "Around the ninth hour, he cried Jesus in a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, Lemá Sabactani; What does it mean: God, God, why have you forsaken me?" This verse is a direct quote from the beginning of Psalm 22 and is often associated with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 5:7-8: "In the days of his flesh, he offered, with strong cry and tears, prayers and supplications to those who could rid him of death and was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience for things you have suffered. " This verse talks about Christ's obedience to suffering, which is a central theme in Psalm 22.
