Psalms Chapter 22
Ayo, my God, why you ghosting me? Why you so distant when I'm out here needing help and yelling?
[To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? {why art thou so} far from helping me, {and from} the words of my roaring? {Aijeleth...: or, the hind of the morning} {helping...: Heb. my salvation}
For real, my God, I'm crying all day, but you ain't hearing me; at night, I'm still not quiet, no cap.
O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. {am...: Heb. there is no silence to me}
Yet you’re straight-up holy, the one who vibes with the praises from Israel.
But thou {art} holy, {O thou} that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Our peoples put their trust in you: they had faith, and you came through for them, fr.
Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
They called on you, and you rescued them; they believed in you, and they weren't left in the lurch.
They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
But I'm just a worm, not even a real person; I'm getting clowned by everyone, no cap.
But I {am} a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Everybody who peeps me is laughing and roasting; they’re throwing shade and shaking their heads, saying,
All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, {saying}, {shoot...: Heb. open}
He thought the Lord would save him; let’s see if He comes through since he’s all about that rizz.
He trusted on the LORD {that} he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. {He trusted...: Heb. He rolled himself on} {seeing...: or, if he delight in}
But you’re the one who brought me out of the womb; you gave me hope when I was sipping on my mom's milk.
But thou {art} he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope {when I was} upon my mother's breasts. {didst...: or, kept me in safety}
I've been depending on you since day one; you’ve been my God since I was in my mom's belly, no cap.
I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou {art} my God from my mother's belly.
Don’t ghost me, fam; trouble's rising, and ain't nobody got my back right now.
Be not far from me; for trouble {is} near; for {there is} none to help. {none...: Heb. not a helper}
Got mad bulls surrounding me: strong ones from Bashan acting like they tough.
Many bulls have compassed me: strong {bulls} of Bashan have beset me round.
They’re staring me down like a squad of lions, ready to roar.
They gaped upon me {with} their mouths, {as} a ravening and a roaring lion. {gaped...: Heb. opened their mouths against me}
I'm drained like a empty bottle, bones feel like they’re all outta line; my heart’s melting like ice cream, fr.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. {out of...: or, sundered}
My strength’s gone, feeling like a shattered pot; my tongue’s glued to my mouth, and I'm deep in the dust.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
Dogs are closing in on me; the wicked crew has me cornered; they nailed my hands and feet.
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
I can count all my bones; they’re just watching me like it’s entertainment.
I may tell all my bones: they look {and} stare upon me.
They’re splitting my drip and rolling dice for my fit, no cap.
They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
But don’t dip on me, Lord: my strength, hurry up and slide in to support me.
But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Save my soul from the sword; guard my homie from the dog’s hold.
Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. {my darling: Heb. my only one} {power: Heb. hand}
Rescue me from the lion’s mouth, fam; you’ve heard me from the horns of the unicorns, no cap.
Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
I’m gonna shout your name to my crew; in the squad, I’ll vibe with you, periodt.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Yo, if you fear the Lord, praise him; all you Jacob’s fam, glorify him; and respect him, all you Israel vibes.
Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
He ain't ignored the struggles of the hurting; he didn’t hide his face; when they cried, he listened, fr.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
My praise is gonna be fire in the big crowd: I’ll keep my promises in front of those who respect him.
My praise {shall be} of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
The humble gonna eat and be filled; they’ll praise the Lord who seeks him; your heart gonna live forever, no cap.

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord; all the fams of the nations gonna worship before you, bet.
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
The kingdom belongs to the Lord; he’s the boss among the nations, goated.
For the kingdom {is} the LORD'S: and he {is} the governor among the nations.
All the heavy hitters on earth gonna eat and worship; all those who hit the dust gonna bow before him; nobody can keep their soul alive, fr.
All {they that be} fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
A seed gonna serve him; it’ll be credited to the Lord for an entire generation, lit.
A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
They gonna roll up and flex his rizz to a crew that's about to be born, showing that he made it all possible.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done {this}.
