7Everyone who sees me HYP makes fun of me. They sneer at me and insult me by shaking their heads at me as though I were an evil man. They say,
8“He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! He says that Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
9Why do you not protect me now as you did when I was born? I was safe even when I was ◄nurssing/drinking milk from my mother's breasts►.
10It was as though you adopted me right when I was born. You have ◄been my God/taken care of me► ever since I was born.
11So, ◄do not stay far from/stay close to► LIT me now because enemies who will cause me much trouble are near me, and there is no one else who can help me.
