Psalm 22
.png)
22 Now to my brothers I'll declare
the praise of your glorious name;
within their gathering I will stand
and your renown I will proclaim.
23 Praise him, all you that fear the LORD;
Give honour to him, Jacob's race.
All Isr'el's children, worship him;
Bow down with awe before his face.
24 He has not scorned the suffering
which on the afflicted one is laid;
He did not hide his face from him,
But listened to his cry for aid.
25 You are the theme of all my praise
within the great assembly, LORD;
Before all those who fear your name
I will fulfil my solemn word.
26 The poor will eat and will be filled
and those who seek the LORD will give
A shout of joyful praise to him.
O may your hearts for ever live!
27 The whole earth will remember him
and turn towards the LORD their God.
All peoples will bow down to him -
the nations of the world abroad.
28 Dominion to the LORD belongs
and over nations he is king.
29 The rich of all the earth will feast
And worship with an offering.
All those who destiny is dust
will humbly kneel before his throne;
they cannot keep themselves alive,
For they depend on him along.
30 Posterity will serve the LORD;
31 and generation still to come
will tell a people yet unborn
the righteous acts that he has done.
