- 0:04Speaker 1: Psalm twenty two for the Chief Musician, set to the
- 0:08Speaker 1: Doe of the Morning, a psalm by David, My God,
- 0:12Speaker 1: My God, Why have you forsaken me? Why are you
- 0:15Speaker 1: so far from helping me? And from the words of
- 0:18Speaker 1: my groaning? My God? I cry in the daytime, but
- 0:22Speaker 1: you don't answer in the night season, and am not silent.
- 0:26Speaker 1: But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
- 0:34Speaker 1: They cried to you and were delivered. They trusted in
- 0:37Speaker 1: you and were not put to shame. But I am
- 0:40Speaker 1: a worm and no man, a reproach of men, and
- 0:43Speaker 1: despised by the people. All those who see me mock me.
- 0:47Speaker 1: They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
- 0:51Speaker 1: he trust in yahweh. Let him deliver him, let him
- 0:54Speaker 1: rescue him, since he delights in him. But you brought
- 0:58Speaker 1: me out of the womb. You made me trust at
- 1:00Speaker 1: my mother's breast. I was thrown on you from my
- 1:03Speaker 1: mother's womb. You are my God, since my mother bore me.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Don't be far from me, for trouble is near. For
- 1:10Speaker 1: there is none to help. Many bulls have surrounded me.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. They open their
- 1:17Speaker 1: mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring. I
- 1:22Speaker 1: am poured out like water. All my bones are out
- 1:25Speaker 1: of joint. My heart is like wax, It is melted
- 1:29Speaker 1: within me. My strength is dried up like a potshird.
- 1:32Speaker 1: My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You
- 1:35Speaker 1: have brought me into the dust of death. For dogs
- 1:39Speaker 1: have surrounded me, a company of evil doers. Having closed me,
- 1:42Speaker 1: they pierced my hands and my feet. I can count
- 1:46Speaker 1: all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
- 1:49Speaker 1: They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for
- 1:53Speaker 1: my clothing. Don't be far off. Yahweh, you are my help.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Hurry to help me. Deliver my soul from the sword.
- 2:01Speaker 1: My precious life from the power of the dog saved
- 2:04Speaker 1: me from the lion's mouth. Yes, from the horns of
- 2:07Speaker 1: the wild oxen, you have answered me. I will declare
- 2:10Speaker 1: your name to my brothers in the midst of the assembly.
- 2:13Speaker 1: I will praise you, you who fear Yahweh. Praise him.
- 2:17Speaker 1: All you descendants of Jacob, glorify him, stand in awe
- 2:21Speaker 1: of him. All you, descendants of Israel. For he has
- 2:24Speaker 1: not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted. Neither
- 2:28Speaker 1: has he hidden his face from him. But when he
- 2:31Speaker 1: cried to him, he heard of you. Comes my praise
- 2:35Speaker 1: in the great assembly. I will pay my vows before
- 2:38Speaker 1: those who fear him. The humble shall eat and be satisfied.
- 2:42Speaker 1: They shall praise Yahweh, who seek after him. Let your
- 2:45Speaker 1: hearts live forever. All the ends of the earth shall
- 2:48Speaker 1: remember and turn to Yahweh. All the relatives of the
- 2:52Speaker 1: nations shall worship before you. For the kingdom is Yahwehs.
- 2:56Speaker 1: He is the ruler over the nations. All the rich
- 2:59Speaker 1: ones of the earth, hers shall eat and worship. All
- 3:02Speaker 1: those who go down to the dust shall bow before him.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Even he who can't keep his soul alive. Posterity shall
- 3:09Speaker 1: serve him. Future generations shall be told about the Lord.
- 3:13Speaker 1: They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a
- 3:17Speaker 1: people that shall be born, for he has done it.
