Psalm 22:13-15

New International Reader's Version

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.
¹⁵ My mouth is dried up like a piece of broken pottery.
    My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
    You bring me down to the edge of the grave.
