Psalmes 22

P S A L. XXI.

1 A thankesgiuing for victory. 7 Confidence of further successe.

¶ To the chiefe Musician. A Psalme of Dauid.

XXII ¶ The King shall ioy in thy strength, O LORD: and in thy saluation how greatly shall he reioyce? 2 Thou hast giuen him his hearts desire; and hast not withholden the request of his lips. Selah. 3 For thou preuentest him with the blessings of goodnesse: thou settest a Crowne of pure gold on his head. 4 He asked life of thee, and thou gauest it him, euen length of dayes for euer and euer. 5 His glory is great in thy saluation: honour and Maiestie hast thou layde vpon him. 6 [fn][fn]For thou hast made him most blessed for euer: thou hast made him exceeding glad with thy countenance. 7 For the King trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High, he shall not be moued. 8 Thine hand shall finde out all thine enemies, thy right hand shal finde out those that hate thee. 9 Thou shalt make them as a fiery ouen in the time of thine anger: the LORD shall swallow them vp in his wrath, and the fire shall deuoure them. 10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. 11 For they intended euill against thee: they imagined a mischieuous deuice, which they are not able to performe. 12 [fn][fn]Therefore shalt thou make them turne their back, when thou shalt make ready thine arrowes vpon thy strings, against the face of them. 13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine owne strength: so will wee sing, aud praise thy power.

P S A L. XXII.

1 Dauid complaineth in great discouragement. 9 Hee prayeth in great distresse. 23 Hee praiseth God.

¶ [ref][fn]To the chiefe Musician vpon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalme of Dauid.

XXII ¶ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? 2 [fn]O my God, I crie in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel! 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliuer them. 5 They cryed vnto thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But I am a worme, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7 [ref][fn]All they that see me, laugh me to scorne: they shoote out the lippe, they shake the head, saying, 8 [ref][fn][fn]He trusted on the LORD, that he would deliuer him: let him deliuer him, seeing he delighted in him. 9 [fn]But thou art hee that tooke mee out of the wombe; thou didst make me hope, when I was vpon my mothers breasts. 10 I was cast vpon thee from the wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly. 11 [fn]Be not farre from me, for trouble is neere; for there is none to helpe. 12 Many bulles haue compassed me: strong bulles of Bashan haue beset me round. 13 [fn]They gaped vpon me with their mouthes, as a rauening and a roaring Lyon. 14 [fn]I am powred out like water, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart is like waxe, it is melted in the middest of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried vp like a potsheard: and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 [ref]For dogges haue compassed me: the assembly of the wicked haue inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feete. 17 I may tell all my bones: they looke and stare vpon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots vpon my vesture. 19 But be not thou farre from mee, O LORD; O my strength, hast thee to helpe me. 20 [fn][fn]Deliuer my soule from the sword: my darling from the power of the dogge. 21 Saue me from the lyons mouth: for thou hast heard me from the hornes of the vnicornes. 22 [ref]I will declare thy name vnto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. 23 Yee that feare the LORD, praise him; all yee the seede of Iacob glorifie him, and feare him all yee the seede of Israel. 24 For he hath not despised, nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he cried vnto him, he heard. 25 My praise shalbe of thee, in the great congregation: I will pay my vowes, before them that feare him. 26 The meeke shall eate and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seeke him; your heart shall liue for euer. 27 [ref]All the ends of the world shall remember, and turne vnto the LORD: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee. 28 For the kingdome is the LORDs: and he is the gouernour among the nations. 29 All they that be fat vpon earth shall eate and worship: all they that goe downe to the dust shall bow before him, and none can keepe aliue his owne soule. 30 A seed shall serue him; it shalbe accounted to the LORD for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnes vnto a people that shalbe borne, that he hath done this.
