8“He relies on the Lord; let him save him. Let him rescue the one he holds dear!”
9But you drew me from the womb, laid me safely on my mother's breasts.
10On your care was I cast from my very birth, you are my God from my mother's womb.
11Be not far from me, for trouble is nigh, and there is none to help.
12I am circled by many bulls, beset by the mighty of Bashan,
13who face me with gaping jaws, like ravening roaring lions.
