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.
24. For He hath not despised, nor abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.
25. Of Thee my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.
26. The humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.
27. Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,
28. For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among nations.
