Psalms 22:18

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.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
