A Psalm of David, to the chief Musician [on] Aijeleth. |
Psalm 22:1-31 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me? Why [are] You so far from helping Me & from the words of My roaring? [Matthew 27:46 And about the 9th hour, Jesus cried [out] with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabach-thani? That is to say, My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?] |
O my God, I cry [out] in the daytime, but You [don't] hear. And in the night [time] & [I'm] not silent. But You are holy, O You, [Who] inhabits the praises of Israel. Our [forefathers] trusted in You. They trusted & You delivered them. They cried [out] to You & they were delivered. They trusted in You & weren't [ashamed.] |
But I am a worm & [not] man, [disapproved by] men & despised [by] the people. [Isaiah 53:3-5 He is despised & rejected [by] men. A Man of sorrows & acquainted with grief. And we hid, [like] it were our faces, from Him. He was despised & we [didn't respect] Him. |
Surely, He has borne our griefs & carried our sorrows. Yet, we didn't [respect] Him, [struck] & smitten of God & afflicted. But He was wounded for our [sins.] He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him. And with His stripes, we are healed.] |
*All [those who] see Me, [mock] & laugh [at] Me, [sticking] out their lip & shaking [their] head, saying, *He trusted [in] the Lord, that He would deliver Him. Let Him deliver Him, [since] He delighted in Him. |
[Matthew 27: 41-43 Also, the chief priests [mocked] Him, with the scribes & elders & said, He saved others & He can't save Himself. If He [is] the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross & we will believe Him. He trusted in God. Let Him deliver Him now, if He will have Him, for He said, I am the Son of God.] |
But You [are] He, [Who] took Me [from] the womb. When I [nursed] upon My mother's breasts, You [caused] Me to hope. You [are] My God, from My mother's belly. I was cast upon You from the womb. |
[Luke 1:34-35 Then, Mary said to the Angel, How shall this be, [since] I [don't] know a man [intimately?] And the Angel answered & said to her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you & the power of the Highest shall overshadow you. Also, that Holy thing, [Who] shall be born of you, shall be called the Son of God.] |
[Don't] be far from Me, for trouble is near. There [are] none to help. Many bulls have [surrounded] Me: strong bulls of Bashan have [circled around] me. They gaped upon with their mouths [open wide, like] a [ravenous,] roaring lion. |
[Lamentations 2:16 All Your enemies have opened their [mouths] against You. They hiss & gnash [their] teeth. They say, We have swallowed [Jerusalem] up. Certainly this is the day we looked for. We have found & we have seen it.] |
I am poured out like water & all My bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted in the midst of My [stomach.] |
[Psalm 31:9-10 Have mercy upon me, O Lord. For I am in trouble & my eye is consumed with grief. [Yes,] my soul & my belly. For my life is spent with grief & my years with sighing. My strength fails, because of my [sin] & my bones [waste away.] |
My strength is dried up like [shards of pottery] & My tongue [clings] to My jaws. You have brought Me into the [dirt] of death. |
[John 19:28-29 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, [so] that the scripture might be fulfilled, [said,] I thirst. Now, a vessel full of vinegar was set there & put upon hyssop & put to His mouth.] |
* For dogs have [surrounded] me. The assembly of the wicked have [enclosed] Me. They pierced My hands & My feet. [Revelation 1:5-8 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness & the first begotten of the dead & the Prince of the kings of the earth. |
Unto Him, [Who] loved us & washed us from our sins in His Own blood & has made us, kings & priests to God & His Father. To Him be glory & [power] forever & ever. Amen. [Look,] He comes with clouds & every eye shall see Him & also [those who] pierced Him. |
And all [the families] of the earth shall wail, because of Him. Even so, Amen. I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] is & [Who] was & [Who] is to come, the Almighty.] |
* I may tell all My bones: they look & stare upon Me. * They part My garments among them & cast lots on My vesture. [Matthew 27:35-36 And they crucified Him & parted His garments, casting lots, [so] that it might be fulfilled, [what] was spoken by the prophet, They parted My garments among them & upon My vesture, they cast lots. And sitting down, they watch Him there.] |
But, O Lord, [don't] be not far from Me, O My strength, [hurry] to help Me. Deliver My soul from the sword; My [precious life] from the power of the dog. [Proverbs 35:17 Lord, how long will You look on? Rescue My soul from their destructions & My [precious life] from the lions.] |
Save me from the lion's mouth: for You have heard Me from the horns of the unicorns. * I will declare Your Name to My brethren. In the midst of the congregation, I will praise you. [Acts 4:12 Neither is there Salvation in any other. For there is [no] other Name under heaven given among men, [by which] we must be saved.] |
You [who] fear [respect] the Lord, praise Him. All you [descendants] of Jacob, glorify Him & all you [descendants] of Israel, fear [respect] Him. For He hasn't despised nor [loathed] the affliction of the [suffering.] Neither has He [hidden] His face from Him. |
But when he cried [out] to Him, He heard. I will pay My vows before [those who] fear [respect] Him. My praise shall be of You in the [large] congregation. The meek shall eat & be satisfied & [those who] seek Him, shall praise the Lord. |
Your heart shall live forever. [Matthew 5:5-6 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are [those who] hunger & thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.] |
All the [families] of the nations shall worship before You & all the ends of the world shall remember & [return] to the Lord. For the Kingdom is the Lord's & He is the [Ruler] among the nations. |
[Revelation 21:3-4 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, [Look,] the tabernacle of God is with men. And He will dwell with them & they shall be His people. And God, Himself, shall be with them & be their God. |
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying. Neither shall there be anymore pain. For the [previous] things [have] passed away.] |
All [those who] are [rich] upon the earth, shall eat & worship. All [those who] go down to the [dirt, in death,] shall bow down before Him & [no one] can keep his own soul alive. A [descendant] shall serve Him. It shall be [accounted] to the Lord for a generation. |
[Revelation 22:16-17 I, Jesus have sent [My] Angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I Am the Root & the Offspring of David & the Bright Morning Star. And the Spirit & the bride say, Come. And let him [who] hears, say, Come. And let him [who] is [thirsty,] come. And [whoever is willing,] let him take the Water of Life freely.] |
They shall come & shall declare His righteousness to the people [who] shall be born, that He has done this. |
