Psalms 22
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1(22-1) For the Leader; upon Aijeleth ha-Shahar. A Psalm of David. (22-2) My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me, and art far from my help at the words of my cry?
1A psalm for David. The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing.
2(22-3) O my God, I call by day, but Thou answerest not; and at night, and there is no surcease for me.
2He hath set me in a place of pasture. He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment:
3(22-4) Yet Thou art holy, O Thou that art enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
3He hath converted my soul. He hath led me on the paths of justice, for his own name’s sake.
4(22-5) In Thee did our fathers trust; they trusted, and Thou didst deliver them.
4For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff, they have comforted me.
5(22-6) Unto Thee they cried, and escaped; in Thee did they trust, and were not ashamed.
5Thou hast prepared a table before me against them that afflict me. Thou hast anointed my head with oil; and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
6(22-7) But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
6And thy mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord unto length of days.
7(22-8) All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head:
