¹⁷ They came round about me like water all the day long; They compassed me about together.

¹⁶ For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.

³⁹ And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰ and saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself: if thou art the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹ In like manner also the chief priests mocking `him', with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴² He saved others; himself he cannot save. He is the King of Israel; let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe on him.

⁴³ He trusteth on God; let him deliver him now, if he desireth him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴ And the robbers also that were crucified with him cast upon him the same reproach.

⁵ He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.

⁶ He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.

⁷ He hath walled me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.

⁴ Then the waters had overwhelmed us, The stream had gone over our soul;

¹⁰ All nations compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

¹¹ They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

¹² They compassed me about like bees; They are quenched as the fire of thorns: In the name of Jehovah I will cut them off.

³ The cords of death compassed me, And the pains of Sheol gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

¹ Save me, O God; For the waters are come in unto my soul.

² I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.

⁷ Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterfalls: All thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.

¹⁴ As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves `upon me'.

¹⁵ Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.

¹² I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark.

¹³ His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.
