Psalms 22:15 Context
13They gaped vpon me with their mouthes, as a rauening and a roaring Lyon. 14I am powred out like water, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart is like waxe, it is melted in the middest of my bowels. 15My strength is dried vp like a potsheard: and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16For dogges haue compassed me: the assembly of the wicked haue inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feete. 17I may tell all my bones: they looke and stare vpon me.
