22:1 For the Chief Musician; set to “The Doe of the Morning.” A Psalm by David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?
3 O 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.
22:2 My God, I cry in the daytime, but you don’t answer; in the night season, and am not silent.

22:3 But you are holy, you who inhabit the praises of Israel.
5 Our fathers hoped in thee; they hoped, and thou didst deliver them.
22:4 Our fathers trusted in you. They trusted, and you delivered them.
6 They cried to thee, and were saved: they hoped in thee, and were not ashamed.
22:5 They cried to you, and were delivered. They trusted in you, and were not disappointed.
7 But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised by the people.
8 All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
22:7 All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,
9 He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
22:8 “He trusts in Yahweh. Let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”
10 For thou art he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.
22:9 But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
11 I was cast on thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
22:10 I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
12 Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.
22:11 Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
13 Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.
22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
14 They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion.
22:13 They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.
15 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
22:14 I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It is melted within me.
16 My 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.
22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
17◆ For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.
22:16 For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
18 They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
22:17 I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
19 They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.
22:18 They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
20 But thou, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.
22:19 But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help. Hurry to help me!
21 Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one from the power of the dog.
22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
22 Save me from the lion's mouth; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.

25 For 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.
22:24 For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 22.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
