Collective Psalm 22: 22,24,26-31
22 I will declare your name to my
people;
in the assembly I
will praise you.
24 For he has not despised or scorned
the suffering of the
afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
but has listened to
his cry for help.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the
Lord will praise him—
may your hearts live
forever!
27 All the ends of the earth
will remember and
turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before
him,
28 for dominion belongs to the Lord
and he rules over
the nations.
29 All the rich of the earth will feast
and worship;
all who go down to
the dust will kneel before him—
those who cannot
keep themselves alive.
30 Posterity will serve him;
future generations
will be told about the Lord.
31 They will proclaim his righteousness,
declaring to a
people yet unborn:
He has done it!

Collective Psalm 22: 1-2, 6-11, 19
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken
me?
Why are you so far
from saving me,
so far from my cries
of anguish?
2 My God, I cry out by day, but you do
not answer,
by night, but I find
no rest.[b]
6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by everyone,
despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults,
shaking their heads.
8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
“let the Lord rescue
him.
Let him deliver him,
since he delights in
him.”
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in
you, even at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast on you;
from my mother’s
womb you have been my God.
11 Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one
to help.
19 But you, Lord, do not be far from me.
You are my strength;
come quickly to help me.
