Songs 22/A cry of pain then a praise song

22:0 A cry of pain then a praise song

22 For the musical director: a song by David to the tune ‘The doe of the dawn’.

22My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Why are you so far from saving me

and far from my plea for help?[ref]

2My God, I call out in the daytime for help, but you don’t answer me,

and at night I’m not silent either.

3Yet you are sinless—

accepting Yisrael’s praises.

4Our ancestors trusted in you.

They trusted in you, and you rescued them.

5They called out to you for help and they were rescued.

They trusted in you and were not disappointed.

6But I’m a worm and not a man

a disgrace to humanity and despised by the people.

7Everyone who sees me, taunts me.

They make faces at me.

They shake their heads at me.[ref]

8Go to Yahweh—he’ll save him.

He’ll rescue him because he likes him.[ref]

9You brought me out from the womb.

You made me trust you when I was at my mother’s breasts.

10I was forced to be dependant on you since birth.

You are my God since I was in my mother’s womb.

11Don’t distance yourself from me, because trouble is near.

There’s no one else who can help.

12Many enemies surround me like angry bulls.

Strong bulls of Bashan have surrounded me.

13They open their mouths wide against me

like a roaring lion tearing its victim apart.

14I am being poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint.

My heart is like wax—it melts away within my chest.

15My strength has dried up like a piece of fired clay.

My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.

You’re about to let me die and return to dust

16because dogs have surrounded me.

A band of evil men has encircled me.

They’ve pierced my hands and my feet.[fn]

17I can count all my bones.

They stand looking, and stare at me.

18They divide my clothes up among themselves,

They cast lots for my garments.[ref]

19Yahweh, don’t just stand at a distance.

Please hurry to help me, my strength.

20Save my life from the sword

my very existence from the clutch of wild dogs.

21Save me from the lion’s mouth.

Rescue me from the horns of the wild bulls.


22I’ll promote your name among my brothers.

I’ll praise you in front of all the assembled people.[ref]

23You all who fear Yahweh, praise him.

All you descendants of Yakob, honour him.

Stand in awe of him, all you descendants of Israel,


24because he hasn’t despised or detested the suffering of the one who’s going through it.

Yahweh hasn’t hidden away from him.

When the suffering one called out to him, he heard.

25You’re the reason that I offer praise when all the people gather.

I’ll fulfill my vows publicly in front of those who fear him.

26The oppressed people will eat and be satisfied.

Those who’re interested in Yahweh will praise him.

May you all live forever.


27Peoples from each end of the earth will remember and turn to Yahweh.

All the families of the nations will bow down before you,

28because Yahweh is the king

and rules over the nations.

29All the prosperous people in the world will celebrate and worship him.

All mortal people will bow before him—those who can’t extend their own lives.

30Our future offspring will serve him.

They’ll tell the next generation about the master.

31They will come and tell about his righteousness.

They’ll tell what he’s done to people not yet born.


22:16 In this last line, we’re following the ancient Septuagint translation rather than the difficult-to-understand Hebrew text.


22:1: Mat 27:46; Mrk 15:34.

22:7: Mat 27:39; Mrk 15:29; Luk 23:35.

22:8: Mat 27:43.

22:18: Mat 27:35; Mrk 15:24; Luk 23:34; Yhn 19:24.

22:22: Heb 2:12.
