I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

Verse 17 is found in chapter 22 of Psalms. Psalm 22 begins with an extreme experience of abandonment and ends with a universal proclamation of God’s faithfulness. The contrast between the apparent absence of an answer and the memory of how God helped the ancestors sustains the plea. Images of animals, violence, and vulnerability describe total threat. The second half transforms lament into praise and extends the announcement of salvation from the individual to generations and peoples.

Denn die Hunde haben mich umgeben, und der Bösen Rotte hat mich umringt; sie haben meine Hände und Füße durchgraben.
Contar puedo todos mis huesos; Ellos miran, considéranme.
Puedo contar todos mis huesos; ellos me miran y me observan.
Je pourrais compter tous mes os. Eux, ils observent, ils me regardent;
Io posso contar tutte le mie ossa; Essi mi riguardano, e mi considerano.
Poderia contar todos os meus ossos; eles vêem e me contemplam.
我數遍我的骨頭; 他們瞪著眼看我。
