Psalm 22:8

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

This man did trust in God, that he would free him by his might: Let him deliver him, sith he had in him such delight.

See the chapter Copy

Because on me he set his love, I'll save and set him free; Because my great name he hath known, I will him set on high.

He to a place where liberty and room was hath me brought; Because he took delight in me, he my deliv'rance wrought.

Cast thou thy burden on the Lord, and he shall thee sustain; Yea, he shall cause the righteous man unmoved to remain.

Thy way to God commit, him trust, it bring to pass shall he.

They said, God leaves him; him pursue and take: none will him save.

'Tis as a sword within my bones, when my foes me upbraid; Ev'n when by them, Where is thy God? 'tis daily to me said.

I also am a vile reproach unto them made to be; And they that did upon me look did shake their heads at me.
