Psalms 21 — UBES
21Verse 1For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David.Verse 2O God, my God, attend to me: why hast thou forsaken me?
The account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
Verse 3O my God, I will cry to thee by day, but thou wilt not hear:
And by night, and it shall not be accounted for folly to me.Verse 4But thou, the praise of Israel, dwellest in a sanctuary.
Verse 5Our fathers hoped in thee;
They hoped, and thou didst deliver them.
Verse 6They cried to thee, and were saved:
They hoped in thee, and were not ashamed.
Verse 7But I am a worm, and not a man;
A reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
Verse 8All that saw me mocked me:
They spoke with their lips, they shook the head, saying,
Verse 9He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him,
Let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
Verse 10For thou art he that drew me out of the womb;
My hope from my mother’s breasts.
Verse 11I was cast on thee from the womb:
Thou art my God from my mother’s belly.Verse 12Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near;
For there is no helper.
Verse 13Many bullocks have compassed me:
Fat bulls have beset me round.
Verse 14They have opened their mouth against me,
As a ravening and roaring lion.
Verse 15I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are loosened:
My heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
Verse 16My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
And my tongue is glued to my throat;
And thou hast brought me down to the dust of death.
Verse 17For many dogs have compassed me:
The assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round:
They pierced my hands and my feet.
Verse 18They counted all my bones;
And they observed and looked upon me.
Verse 19They parted my garments among themselves,
And cast lots upon my raiment.Verse 20But thou, O Lord, remove not my help afar off:
Be ready for mine aid.
Verse 21Deliver my soul from the sword;
My only begotten one from the power of the dog.
Verse 22Save me from the lion’s mouth;
And regard my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.Verse 23I will declare thy name to my brethren:
In the midst of the church will I sing praise to thee.
Verse 24Ye that fear the Lord, praise him;
All ye seed of Jacob, glorify him:
Let all the seed of Israel fear him.
Verse 25For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor;
Nor turned away his face from me;
But when I cried to him, he heard me.
Verse 26My praise is of thee in the great congregation:
I will pay my vows before them that fear him.Verse 27The poor shall eat and be satisfied;
And they shall praise the Lord that seek him:
Their heart shall live forever.
Verse 28All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord:
And all the kindred of the nations shall worship before him.
Verse 29For the kingdom is the Lord’s;
And he is the governor of the nations.
Verse 30All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshiped:
All that go down to the earth shall fall down before him:
My soul also lives to him.
Verse 31And my seed shall serve him:
The generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord.
Verse 32And they shall report his righteousness
To the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
The account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
