Psalm 22:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² Many enemies are all around me.
    They are like strong bulls from the land of Bashan.
¹³ They are like roaring lions that tear to pieces what they kill.
    They open their mouths wide to attack me.
¹⁴ My strength is like water that is poured out on the ground.
    I feel as if my bones aren’t connected.
My heart has turned to wax.
    It has melted away inside me.
