Jesus

On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou art my God.

Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.

Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,

They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.

As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.

Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.

And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.

I count all my bones--they look expectingly, They look upon me,

They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.

And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.

Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.

Save me from the mouth of a lion: --And--from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!

I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.

Of Thee my praise is in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.

Thou--Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee are all mine adversaries.

He proclaimeth me: `Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation.'

I also first-born do appoint him, Highest of the kings of the earth.

A Psalm of David. The affirmation of Jehovah to my Lord: `Sit at My right hand, Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.'

The rod of thy strength doth Jehovah send from Zion, Rule in the midst of thine enemies.

Jehovah hath sworn, and doth not repent, `Thou art a priest to the age, According to the order of Melchizedek.'

The Lord on thy right hand smote kings In the day of His anger.

He doth judge among the nations, He hath completed the carcases, Hath smitten the head over the mighty earth.

From a brook in the way he drinketh, Therefore he doth lift up the head!

Jehovah hath sworn truth to David, He turneth not back from it: Of the fruit of thy body, I set on the throne for thee.

Who went up to heaven, and cometh down? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound waters in a garment? Who established all ends of the earth? What is His name? and what His son's name? Surely thou knowest!
