NHEB(i)
12 Many bulls have surrounded me. Mighty ones of Bashan have encircled me.
13 They open their mouths wide against me, like a lion tearing prey and roaring.
14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; and you have brought me into the dust of death.
16 For many dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18 They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my clothing they cast a lot.
19 But do not be far off, LORD. You are my help: hurry to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lion's mouth. Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.
