I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.

Psalm 22:17 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 22.

13 They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it melts away within me.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You lay me in the dust of death.

16 For dogs surround me; a band of evil men encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet.

17 I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.

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

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!
