15. My strength has dried up like a clay pot,and my tongue sticks to the top of my mouth.You laid me in the dust of death.
16. Evil people have surrounded me;like dogs they have trapped me.They have bitten my arms and legs.
17. I can count all my bones;people look and stare at me.
18. They divided my clothes among them,and they threw lots for my clothing.
19. But, Lord, don’t be far away.You are my strength; hurry to help me.
20. Save me from the sword;save my life from the dogs.
