New Testament

Psalm 22:3-9 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

3. But you rule from your throne as the Holy One. You are the God Israel praises.

4. Our people of long ago put their trust in you. They trusted in you, and you saved them.

5. They cried out to you and were saved. They trusted in you, and you didn't let them down.

6. People treat me like a worm and not a man. They hate me and look down on me.

7. All those who see me laugh at me. They shout at me and make fun of me. They shake their heads at me.

8. They say, "He trusts in the Lord. Let the Lord help him. If the Lord is pleased with him, let him save him."

9. But you brought me out of my mother's body. You made me trust in you even when I was at my mother's breast.
