4. In You our fathers trusted; They trusted and You delivered them.
5. To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed.
6. But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people.
7. All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying,
8. "Commit yourself to the Lord; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him."
9. Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother's breasts.
10. Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother's womb.
11. Be not far from me, for trouble is near; For there is none to help.
12. Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13. They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a 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 within me.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death.
16. For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me;
18. They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots.
19. But You, O Lord, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance.
