New English Translation
17 I can count[a] all my bones;
my enemies[b] are gloating over me in triumph.[c]
18 They are dividing up my clothes among themselves;
they are rolling dice[d] for my garments.
19 But you, O Lord, do not remain far away.
You are my source of strength.[e] Hurry and help me![f]
