19 But You, O LORD, be not far off; O my Strength, come quickly to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword, my precious life from the power of wild dogs.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
Focused Passage
Psalms 22:19-21
The Forsaken Sufferer and the Worldwide Praise of the LORD
A cry of forsakenness moves through remembered trust, public humiliation, urgent petition, answered praise, and finally worldwide testimony to the LORD's righteous saving work.
