16 A group of sinful people has closed in on me. They are all around me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I can see all of my bones right through my skin. People stare at me. They laugh when I suffer.
18 They divide up my clothes among them. They cast lots for what I am wearing.
19 Lord, don't be so far away. You give me strength. Come quickly to help me.
20 Save me from the sword. Save the only life I have. Save me from the power of those dogs.
21 Save me from the mouths of those lions. Save me from the horns of those wild oxen.
22 I will announce your name to my brothers and sisters. I will praise you among those who worship you.
