17 I count all my bones -- they look expectingly, They look  upon me,
         
                                
                        18 They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my  clothing they cause a lot to fall.
         
                                
                        19 And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to  help me haste.
         
                                
                        20 Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine  only one.
         
                                
                        21 Save me from the mouth of a lion: -- And -- from the horns  of the high places Thou hast answered me!
         
                                
                        22 I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the  assembly I praise Thee.
         
                                
                        23 Ye who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob,  honour ye Him, And be afraid of Him, all ye seed of Israel.
