4Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.
5They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.
6But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.
7I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,
8He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.
9But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.
10I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.
11Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.
12A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.
13I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.
14I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.
15My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.
16Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
17I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:
18They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.
19Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
20Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.
