Psalm 22:16 (Listen)

16 For ydogs encompass me;

a company of evildoers zencircles me;

they have apierced my hands and feet1—

[1] 22:16 Some Hebrew manuscripts, Septuagint, Vulgate, Syriac; most Hebrew manuscripts like a lion [they are at] my hands and feet

20 Deliver my soul from the sword,

my precious life from the power of ethe dog!

10 kHis watchmen are blind;

they are all without knowledge;

they are all silent ldogs;

they cannot bark,

dreaming, lying down,

loving to slumber.

11 mThe dogs have a mighty appetite;

they never have enough.

But nthey are shepherds who have no understanding;

they have all turned to their own way,

oeach to his own gain, one and all.

15 eOutside are fthe dogs gand sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

15 But if you ubite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.
