King James Bible 1611
| 22:1 | [To the chiefe Musician vpon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalme of Dauid.] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken mee? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? |
| 22:2 | O my God, I crie in the day time, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. |
| 22:3 | But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel! |
| 22:4 | Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliuer them. |
| 22:5 | They cryed vnto thee, and were deliuered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. |
| 22:6 | But I am a worme, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. |
| 22:7 | All they that see me, laugh me to scorne: they shoote out the lippe, they shake the head, saying, |
| 22:8 | He trusted on the Lord, that he would deliuer him: let him deliuer him, seeing he delighted in him. |
| 22:9 | But thou art hee that tooke mee out of the wombe; thou didst make me hope, when I was vpon my mothers breasts. |
| 22:10 | I was cast vpon thee from the wombe: thou art my God from my mothers belly. |
| 22:11 | Be not farre from me, for trouble is neere; for there is none to helpe. |
| 22:12 | Many bulles haue compassed me: strong bulles of Bashan haue beset me round. |
| 22:13 | They gaped vpon me with their mouthes, as a rauening and a roaring Lyon. |
| 22:14 | I am powred out like water, and all my bones are out of ioynt: my heart is like waxe, it is melted in the middest of my bowels. |
| 22:15 | My strength is dried vp like a potsheard: and my tongue cleaueth to my iawes; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. |
| 22:16 | For dogges haue compassed me: the assembly of the wicked haue inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feete. |
| 22:17 | I may tell all my bones: they looke and stare vpon me. |
| 22:18 | They part my garments among them, and cast lots vpon my vesture. |
| 22:19 | But be not thou farre from mee, O Lord; O my strength, hast thee to helpe me. |
| 22:20 | Deliuer my soule from the sword: my darling from the power of the dogge. |
| 22:21 | Saue me from the lyons mouth: for thou hast heard me from the hornes of the vnicornes. |
| 22:22 | I will declare thy name vnto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. |
| 22:23 | Yee that feare the Lord, praise him; all yee the seede of Iacob glorifie him, and feare him all yee the seede of Israel. |
| 22:24 | For he hath not despised, nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he cried vnto him, he heard. |
| 22:25 | My praise shalbe of thee, in the great congregation: I will pay my vowes, before them that feare him. |
| 22:26 | The meeke shall eate and be satisfied: they shall praise the Lord that seeke him; your heart shall liue for euer. |
| 22:27 | All the ends of the world shall remember, and turne vnto the Lord: and all the kinreds of the nations shall worship before thee. |
| 22:28 | For the kingdome is the Lords: and he is the gouernour among the nations. |
| 22:29 | All they that be fat vpon earth shall eate and worship: all they that goe downe to the dust shall bow before him, and none can keepe aliue his owne soule. |
| 22:30 | A seed shall serue him; it shalbe accounted to the Lord for a generation. |
| 22:31 | They shall come, and shall declare his righteousnes vnto a people that shalbe borne, that he hath done this. |
King James Bible 1611
The commissioning of the King James Bible took place at a conference at the Hampton Court Palace in London England in 1604. When King James came to the throne he wanted unity and stability in the church and state, but was well aware that the diversity of his constituents had to be considered. There were the Papists who longed for the English church to return to the Roman Catholic fold and the Latin Vulgate. There were Puritans, loyal to the crown but wanting even more distance from Rome. The Puritans used the Geneva Bible which contained footnotes that the king regarded as seditious. The Traditionalists made up of Bishops of the Anglican Church wanted to retain the Bishops Bible.
The king commissioned a new English translation to be made by over fifty scholars representing the Puritans and Traditionalists. They took into consideration: the Tyndale New Testament, the Matthews Bible, the Great Bible and the Geneva Bible. The great revision of the Bible had begun. From 1605 to 1606 the scholars engaged in private research. From 1607 to 1609 the work was assembled. In 1610 the work went to press, and in 1611 the first of the huge (16 inch tall) pulpit folios known today as "The 1611 King James Bible" came off the printing press.
