New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 22:12-18
12 Many bulls(A) surround me;(B)
strong bulls of Bashan(C) encircle me.
13 Roaring lions(D) that tear their prey(E)
open their mouths wide(F) against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.(G)
My heart has turned to wax;(H)
it has melted(I) within me.
15 My mouth[a] is dried up like a potsherd,(J)
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;(K)
you lay me in the dust(L) of death.
