Bible in Basic English
"Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet."
— Psalms 22:16, Bible in Basic English
“For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.”
“For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. ”
“For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.”
I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.
I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.
My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.
Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:
They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.
Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
