7. But I am a worm, and no man: the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
8. All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
9. He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
10. For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: my hope from the breasts of my mother.
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.
