Psalm 22

³⁴At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

⁴⁶About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

⁷During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

¹⁶For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.

²⁴I sigh when food is put before me, and my groans pour out like water.

⁴⁴Jesus said to them, “These are the words I spoke to you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms.”

³My tears have been my food both day and night, while men ask me all day long, “Where is your God?”

⁷Will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry out to Him day and night? Will He delay in helping them?

¹⁶But I call to God, and the Lord saves me.

¹⁷Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.

⁴¹And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

⁴²“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

¹A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.

³I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience as did my forefathers, as I constantly remember you night and day in my prayers.

²¹He is your praise and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome wonders that your eyes have seen.

²³He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

³And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”

⁸And each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around and within. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

⁹Exalt the Lord our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the Lord our God is holy.

¹For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A song. Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.

³¹When Israel saw the great power that the Lord had exercised over the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and believed in Him and in His servant Moses.

¹³But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the Lord’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.

¹⁴The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

²⁸Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed.”

⁶Abram believed the Lord, and it was credited to him as righteousness.

¹⁸Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.”

¹⁹Without weakening in his faith, he acknowledged the decrepitness of his body (since he was about a hundred years old) and the lifelessness of Sarah’s womb.

⁸By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, without knowing where he was going.

⁹By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

¹¹It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

²³Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”

⁶For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

³³as it is written: “See, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”

¹⁷But Israel will be saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame or humiliated, to ages everlasting.

²in You, my God, I trust. Do not let me be put to shame; do not let my enemies exult over me.

³Surely none who wait for You will be put to shame; but those who engage in treachery without cause will be disgraced.

³He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief. Like one from whom men hide their faces, He was despised, and we esteemed Him not.

⁶how much less man, who is but a maggot, and the son of man, who is but a worm!”

¹⁴Do not fear, O Jacob, you worm, O few men of Israel. I will help you,” declares the Lord. “Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

⁷Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer and Holy One of Israel, to Him who was despised and abhorred by the nation, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings will see You and rise, and princes will bow down, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen You.”

⁷For I have endured scorn for Your sake, and shame has covered my face.

⁸I have become a stranger to my brothers and a foreigner to my mother’s sons,

¹⁹You know my reproach, my shame and disgrace. All my adversaries are before You.

²⁰Insults have broken my heart, and I am in despair. I looked for sympathy, but there was none, for comforters, but I found no one.

²⁹And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

³⁹And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

⁴⁰and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

²⁵I am an object of scorn to my accusers; when they see me, they shake their heads.

¹¹And even Herod and his soldiers ridiculed and mocked Him. Dressing Him in a fine robe, they sent Him back to Pilate.

²⁰After they had mocked Him, they removed the purple robe and put His own clothes back on Him. Then they led Him out to crucify Him.

²⁹And they twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand, knelt down before Him, and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

⁴²“He saved others, but He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel! Let Him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

⁴³He trusts in God. Let God deliver Him now if He wants Him. For He said, ‘I am the Son of God.’”

³⁰come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

³¹In the same way, the chief priests and scribes mocked Him among themselves, saying, “He saved others, but He cannot save Himself!

¹⁴“Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him.

¹⁹He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.

³Commit your works to the Lord and your plans will be achieved.

¹⁷And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”

⁶I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.

¹Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The Lord called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.

²He made My mouth like a sharp sword; He hid Me in the shadow of His hand. He made Me like a polished arrow; He hid Me in His quiver.

¹⁷O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.

¹⁵My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.

¹⁶Your eyes saw my unformed body; all my days were written in Your book and ordained for me before one of them came to be.

¹³When the Magi had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up!” he said. “Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”

¹⁴So he got up, took the Child and His mother by night, and withdrew to Egypt,

⁶For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

⁵“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

¹⁵But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by His grace, was pleased

¹Listen to Me, O islands; pay attention, O distant peoples: The Lord called Me from the womb; from the body of My mother He named Me.

³“Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been sustained from the womb, carried along since birth.

⁴Even to your old age, I will be the same, and I will bear you up when you turn gray. I have made you, and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.

¹⁷“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

⁴⁰And the Child grew and became strong. He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon Him.

¹²Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.

⁷During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

¹²For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.

¹Why, O Lord, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

³²“Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

²¹Do not forsake me, O Lord; be not far from me, O my God.

¹Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy, who say to your husbands, “Bring us more to drink.”

²The Lord God has sworn by His holiness: “Behold, the days are coming when you will be taken away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

²⁷In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.

³⁰Rebuke the beast in the reeds, the herd of bulls among the calves of the nations, until it submits, bringing bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

¹When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people conspired against Jesus to put Him to death.

¹⁴with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.

¹⁵But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked—becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁸You will eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all the fattened animals of Bashan.

⁸Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

²¹They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”

¹²like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

⁴⁶All our enemies open their mouths against us.

¹⁰They open their mouths against me and strike my cheeks with contempt; they join together against me.

³At that time the chief priests and elders of the people assembled in the courtyard of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas,

⁴and they conspired to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.

¹⁰For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

¹⁶And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction grip me.

¹⁷I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.

⁶his face grew pale and his thoughts so alarmed him that his hips gave way and his knees knocked together.

¹⁶God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me.

⁵And the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of them, chasing them from the gate as far as the quarries and striking them down on the slopes. So the hearts of the people melted and became like water.

²⁸After this, knowing that everything had now been accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”

³I am weary from my crying; my throat is parched. My eyes fail, looking for my God.

²¹They poisoned my food with gall and gave me vinegar to quench my thirst.

¹²Therefore I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the spoils with the strong, because He has poured out His life unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors. Yet He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.

²⁹When You hide Your face, they are terrified; when You take away their breath, they die and return to dust.

³When I kept silent, my bones became brittle from my groaning all day long.

⁴For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat. Selah

³⁷And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.”

¹⁰Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for Him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

³⁵When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

²⁵So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”

²³When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

³⁴Instead, one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out.

³⁵The people stood watching, and the rulers sneered at Him, saying, “He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.”

²¹His flesh wastes away from sight, and his hidden bones protrude.

³⁹And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads

⁴⁰and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross!”

¹⁴Just as many were appalled at Him—His appearance was disfigured beyond that of any man, and His form was marred beyond human likeness—

²⁷A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

²⁹And those who passed by heaped abuse on Him, shaking their heads and saying, “Aha! You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

³⁰come down from the cross and save Yourself!”

³⁵When they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments by casting lots.

³⁴Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up His garments by casting lots.

²⁴And they crucified Him. They also divided His garments by casting lots to decide what each of them would take.

²³When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they divided His garments into four parts, one for each soldier, with the tunic remaining. It was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

²⁴So they said to one another, “Let us not tear it. Instead, let us cast lots to see who will get it.” This was to fulfill the Scripture: “They divided My garments among them, and cast lots for My clothing.” So that is what the soldiers did.

¹¹Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.

¹³Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; hurry, O Lord, to help me.

¹⁷But I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me. You are my helper and deliverer; O my God, do not delay.

¹Why, O Lord, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?

¹For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O Lord, the king rejoices in Your strength. How greatly he exults in Your salvation!

⁵But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.

¹⁷How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.

⁷Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, against the man who is My Companion, declares the Lord of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered, and I will turn My hand against the little ones.

¹³Arise, O Lord, confront them! Bring them to their knees; deliver me from the wicked by Your sword,

¹⁷But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of the lion.

⁸Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

²⁷In fact, this is the very city where Herod and Pontius Pilate conspired with the Gentiles and the people of Israel against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed.

³⁰I will not speak with you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming, and he has no claim on Me.

²²God brought them out of Egypt with strength like a wild ox.

⁷And the wild oxen will fall with them, the young bulls with the strong ones. Their land will be drenched with blood, and their soil will be soaked with fat.

¹¹For both the One who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

¹²He says: “I will proclaim Your name to My brothers; I will sing Your praises in the assembly.”

²⁹For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers.

⁴⁸But Jesus replied, “Who is My mother, and who are My brothers?”

⁴⁹Pointing to His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers.

¹⁰“Do not be afraid,” said Jesus. “Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee. There they will see Me.”

⁹I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O Lord, do know.

¹⁰I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

¹⁸Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.

¹⁹Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?

⁴Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

¹⁹O house of Israel, bless the Lord; O house of Aaron, bless the Lord;

²⁰O house of Levi, bless the Lord; you who fear the Lord, bless the Lord!

¹Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

²Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

⁵⁰His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation.

¹¹You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord! He is their help and shield.

²³He who sacrifices a thank offering honors Me, and to him who rightly orders his way, I will show the salvation of God.”

⁷During the days of Jesus’ earthly life, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.

⁶I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.

⁷Because the Lord God helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.

⁵In my distress I called to the Lord, and He answered and set me free.

³The ropes of death entangled me; the anguish of Sheol overcame me; I was confronted by trouble and sorrow.

⁴Then I called on the name of the Lord: “O Lord, deliver my soul!”

⁴⁶Then Jesus called out in a loud voice, “Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit.” And when He had said this, He breathed His last.

⁶This poor man called out, and the Lord heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.

⁹I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O Lord, do know.

¹⁰I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

¹⁸Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.

¹Hallelujah! I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

¹⁴I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all His people.

¹⁵Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

¹³I will enter Your house with burnt offerings; I will fulfill my vows to You—

¹²Your vows are upon me, O God; I will render thank offerings to You.

³²The humble will see and rejoice. You who seek God, let your hearts be revived!

¹⁶May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “The Lord be magnified!”

¹³Therefore this is what the Lord God says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

³Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.

⁴Seek out the Lord and His strength; seek His face always.

⁴⁸I am the bread of life.

⁴⁹Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.

⁹For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

⁹All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

²²Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

⁹After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands.

¹⁰And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

⁸Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

⁶He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”

⁴Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

⁹On that day the Lord will become King over all the earth—the Lord alone, and His name alone.

⁷For God is King of all the earth; sing to Him a psalm of praise.

⁸God reigns over the nations; God is seated on His holy throne.

¹⁴And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

¹⁵Then the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and loud voices called out in heaven: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever.”

²¹The deliverers will ascend Mount Zion to rule over the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will belong to the Lord.

¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

¹⁹Your dead will live; their bodies will rise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust! For your dew is like the dew of the morning, and the earth will bring forth her dead.

²⁵Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though he dies.

²⁶And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

¹²The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.

⁷He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the dump

¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne. And books were opened, and one of them was the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their deeds, as recorded in the books.

¹³The sea gave up its dead, and Death and Hades gave up their dead, and each one was judged according to his deeds.

⁹But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

¹³And again: “I will put My trust in Him.” And once again: “Here am I, and the children God has given Me.”

²⁸The children of Your servants will dwell securely, and their descendants will be established before You.”

²⁶You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

⁶The Lord will record in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Selah

¹⁰Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush Him and to cause Him to suffer; and when His soul is made a guilt offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.

⁶that the coming generation would know them—even children yet to be born—to arise and tell their own children

⁹All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.

¹⁷For the gospel reveals the righteousness of God that comes by faith from start to finish, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

¹⁸Let this be written for the generation to come, so that a people not yet created may praise the Lord.

³For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and currents on the dry ground. I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.

⁴They will sprout among the grass like willows by flowing streams.

⁹I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; behold, I do not seal my lips, as You, O Lord, do know.
