They gaped upon me with their mouths As a ravening and a roaring lion I am poured out like water And all my bones are out of joint My heart is like wax It is melted in the midst of my bowels My strength is dried up like a potsherd And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws And thou has brought me into the dust of death Psalm 22:13 When reading the Bible, I'd recommend a more modern translation. My favorite is the New Living Translation, but the most popular would be the New International Version. The KJV was written back when those odd words were in common use. Also, more modern versions have the benefit of things like the Dead Sea Scrolls to make sure their original material is actually the original text. So here's your verse in NLT: "Like roaring lions attacking their prey, they come at me with open mouths. My life is poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me. My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead." --Ps 22:13-15 But at the end of all of this, the author writes: "O LORD, do not stay away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid!" --Ps 22:19 The verse, like many in Psalms, is the author crying for help from God. He is saying how weak he is, and he knows that God can save him. |
