7. All who see me laugh me to scorn;they sneer with the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8. “Trust in the Lord,let Him deliver him;let Him rescue him,seeing He delights in him.”
9. But You are He who took me out of the womb;You caused me to trustwhile I was on my mother’s breasts.
10. I was cast on You from birth;You are my God from my mother’s womb.
11. Be not far from mefor trouble is near,for there is none to help.
12. Many bulls encircle me;strong bulls of Bashan surround me.
13. They open their mouths against me,as a preying and roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water,and all my bones are out of joint;my heart is like wax;it is melted inside my body.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd,and my tongue cleaves to my jaws;and You have set me toward the dust of death.
16. For dogs have encompassed me;the assembly of the wicked has enclosed me;like a lion they pin my hands and my feet;
17. I can count all my bones;they look and stare on me.
18. They part my garments among themand cast lots for my clothes.
19. But do not be far from me, O Lord;O my Help, hasten to my aid.
