11. I was cast upon thee from the womb. From my mother's womb thou art my God,
12. depart not from me. For tribulation is very near: for there is none to help me.
13. Many calves have surrounded me: fat bulls have besieged me.
14. They have opened their mouths against me, as a lion ravening and roaring.
15. I am poured out like water; and all my bones are scattered. My heart is become like wax melting in the midst of my bowels.
16. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
17. For many dogs have encompassed me: the council of the malignant hath besieged me. They have dug my hands and feet.
18. They have numbered all my bones. And they have looked and stared upon me.
19. They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots.
20. But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; look towards my defence.
