My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 22:15 in context
Psalms 22:12–18
12
Many bulls have surrounded me.
Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13
They open their mouths wide against me,
lions tearing prey and roaring.
14
I am poured out like water.
All my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax.
It is melted within me.

My strength is dried up like a potsherd.
My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.
You have brought me into the dust of death.

For dogs have surrounded me.
A company of evildoers have enclosed me.
They have pierced my hands and feet.

I can count all of my bones.
They look and stare at me.

They divide my garments among them.
They cast lots for my clothing.
