Psalms 22

Easy-to-Read Version, 2006

¹[1] My God, my God, why have you left me? You seem too far away to save me, too far to hear my cries for help!
²My God, I kept calling by day, and I was not silent at night. But you did not answer me.
³God, you are the Holy One. You sit as King upon the praises of Israel.
⁴Our ancestors trusted you. Yes, they trusted you, and you saved them.
⁵They called to you for help and escaped their enemies. They trusted you and were not disappointed!
⁶But I feel like a worm, less than human! People insult me and look down on me.
⁷Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They shake their heads and stick out their tongues at me.
⁸They say, “Call to the LORD for help. Maybe he will save you. If he likes you so much, surely he will rescue you!”
⁹God, the truth is, you are the one who brought me into this world. You made me feel safe while I was still at my mother’s breasts.
¹⁰You have been my God since the day I was born. I was thrown into your arms as I came from my mother’s womb.
¹¹So don’t leave me! Trouble is near, and there is no one to help me.
¹²My enemies surround me like angry bulls. They are like the powerful bulls of Bashan, and they are all around me.
¹³Their mouths are opened wide, like a lion roaring and tearing at its prey.
¹⁴My strength is gone, like water poured out on the ground. My bones have separated. My courage is gone.[2]
My mouth[3] is as dry as a piece of baked pottery. My tongue is sticking to the roof of my mouth. You have left me dying in the dust.
