Psalms 22:19
17 I can count all my bones; they stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
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.
21 Save me from the mouth of the lion; at the horns of the wild oxen You have answered me!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
