Psalm 22:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

25 For he has not spurned or disdained
    the misery of this poor wretch,
Did not turn away[a] from me,
    but heard me when I cried out.
26 I will offer praise in the great assembly;
    my vows I will fulfill before those who fear him.
27 The poor[b] will eat their fill;
    those who seek the Lord will offer praise.
    May your hearts enjoy life forever!”(A)

Footnotes

  1. 22:25 Turn away: lit., “hides his face from me,” an important metaphor for God withdrawing from someone, e.g., Mi 3:4; Is 8:17; Ps 27:9; 69:18; 88:15.
  2. 22:27 The poor: originally the poor, who were dependent on God; the term (‘anawim) came to include the religious sense of “humble, pious, devout.”
