Psalm 22:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵My mouth^[a] is as dry as a piece of baked pottery.
    My tongue is sticking to the roof of my mouth.
    You have left me dying in the dust.
¹⁶The “dogs” are all around me—

    They have pierced my hands and feet.^[c]
¹⁷I can see each one of my bones.
    My enemies are looking at me;
    they just keep staring.
