Psalms 22:5-12

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.
