Psalm 22[a]
For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David.
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, but I find no rest.[b]
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, but I find no rest.[b]
3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the one Israel praises.[c]
4 In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried out and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
you are the one Israel praises.[c]
4 In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.
5 To you they cried out and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
“let the Lord rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
since he delights in him.”

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

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

12 Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13 Roaring lions that tear their prey
open their mouths wide against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted within me.
15 My mouth[d] is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me in the dust of death.

17 All my bones are on display;
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment.

save me from the horns of the wild oxen.

Salmmo 22
1Deus meu, Deus meu, por que me desamparaste? por que estás afastado de me auxiliar, e das palavras do meu bramido? 2Deus meu, eu clamo de dia, porém tu não me ouves; também de noite, mas não acho sossego. 3Contudo tu és santo, entronizado sobre os louvores de Israel. 4Em ti confiaram nossos pais; confiaram, e tu os livraste. 5A ti clamaram, e foram salvos; em ti confiaram, e não foram confundidos. 6Mas eu sou verme, e não homem; opróbrio dos homens e desprezado do povo. 7Todos os que me vêem zombam de mim, arreganham os beiços e meneiam a cabeça, dizendo: 8Confiou no Senhor; que ele o livre; que ele o salve, pois que nele tem prazer. 9Mas tu és o que me tiraste da madre; o que me preservaste, estando eu ainda aos seios de minha mãe. 10Nos teus braços fui lançado desde a madre; tu és o meu Deus desde o ventre de minha mãe. 11Não te alongues de mim, pois a angústia está perto, e não há quem acuda. 12Muitos touros me cercam; fortes touros de Basã me rodeiam. 13Abrem contra mim sua boca, como um leão que despedaça e que ruge. 14Como água me derramei, e todos os meus ossos se desconjuntaram; o meu coração é como cera, derreteu-se no meio das minhas entranhas. 15A minha força secou-se como um caco e a língua se me pega ao paladar; tu me puseste no pó da morte. 16Pois cães me rodeiam; um ajuntamento de malfeitores me cerca; transpassaram-me as mãos e os pés. 17Posso contar todos os meus ossos. Eles me olham e ficam a mirar-me. 18Repartem entre si as minhas vestes, e sobre a minha túnica lançam sortes. 19Mas tu, Senhor, não te alongues de mim; força minha, apressa-te em socorrer-me. 20Livra-me da espada, e a minha vida do poder do cão. 21Salva-me da boca do leão, sim, livra-me dos chifres do boi selvagem. 22Então anunciarei o teu nome aos meus irmãos; louvar-te-ei no meio da congregação. 23Vós, que temeis ao Senhor, louvai-o; todos vós, filhos de Jacó, glorificai-o; temei-o todos vós, descendência de Israel. 24Porque não desprezou nem abominou a aflição do aflito, nem dele escondeu o seu rosto; antes, quando ele clamou, o ouviu. 25De ti vem o meu louvor na grande congregação; pagarei os meus votos perante os que o temem. 26Os mansos comerão e se fartarão; louvarão ao Senhor os que o buscam. Que o vosso coração viva eternamente! 27Todos os limites da terra se lembrarão e se converterão ao Senhor, e diante dele adorarão todas as famílias das nações. 28Porque o domínio é do Senhor, e ele reina sobre as nações. 29Todos os grandes da terra comerão e adorarão, e todos os que descem ao pó se prostrarão perante ele, os que não podem reter a sua vida. 30A posteridade o servirá; falar-se-á do Senhor à geração vindoura. 31Chegarão e anunciarão a justiça dele; a um povo que há de nascer contarão o que ele fez.
