Psalms 22:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 Be not 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 They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.
