But you, O LORD, do not be far off! O you my help, come quickly to my aid!

Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog!

Save me from the mouth of the lion! You have rescued me from the horns of the wild oxen!

I can count all my bones - they stare and gloat over me;

They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots.

My strength is dried up like potsherd, and my tongue sticks to my jaws; you lay me in the dust of death.

For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.

they open wide their mouths at me, like ravening and roaring lion.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax; it is melted within my breast.

Spurgeon's Abridged Commentary

Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.

Many bulls encompass me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me;

On you was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb you have been my God.

Spurgeon's Abridged Commentary

Yet you are he who took me from the womb; you made me trust you at my mother's breats.

Spurgeon's Abridged Commentary

All who see me mock me; they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;

He trust in the LORD; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, for he delights in him!

Spurgeon's Abridged Commentary

But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the peolple.

Spurgeon's Abridged Commentary.

In you our fathers trusted; they trusted and you delivered them.

To you they cried and were rescued; in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
