The Book of Psalms
Psalm 21
Deus Deus meus.
Christ's passion: and the conversion of the Gentiles.
 1 |
Unto the end, for the morning protection, a psalm for David. |
2 |
O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation are the words of my sins. |
3 |
O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me. |
4 |
But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel. |
5 |
In thee have our fathers hoped: they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them. |
6 |
They cried to thee, and they were saved: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. |
7 |
But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people. |
8 |
All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head. |
9 |
He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him. |
10 |
For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother. |
11 |
I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God, |
12 |
Depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me. |
13 |
Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me. |
14 |
They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring. |
15 |
I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels. |
16 |
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death. |
17 |
For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet. |
18 |
They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me. |
19 |
They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots. |
20 |
But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence. |
21 |
Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: my only one from the hand of the dog. |
22 |
Save me from the lion's mouth; and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns. |
23 |
I will declare thy name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I praise thee. |
24 |
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him. |
25 |
Let all the seed of Israel fear him: because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man. Neither hath he turned away his face form me: and when I cried to him he heard me. |
26 |
With thee is my praise in a great church: I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him. |
27 |
The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their hearts shall live for ever and ever. |
28 |
All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight. |
29 |
For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he shall have dominion over the nations. |
30 |
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him. |
31 |
And to him my soul shall live: and my seed shall serve him. |
32 |
There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, which the Lord hath made. |
