16. 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.
17. I count all my bones--they look expectingly, They look upon me,
18. They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
19. And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.
20. Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.
21. Save me from the mouth of a lion: --And--from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!
22. I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly I praise Thee.
23. Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.
