5. To you they cried out and were saved;in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
6. But I am a worm and not a man,scorned by everyone, despised by the people.
7. All who see me mock me;they hurl insults, shaking their heads.
8. ‘He trusts in the Lord,’ they say,‘let the Lord rescue him.Let him deliver him,since he delights in him.’
9. Yet you brought me out of the womb;you made me trust in you, even at my mother’s breast.
10. From birth I was cast on you;from my mother’s womb you have been my God.
11. Do not be far from me,for trouble is nearand there is no one to help.
12. Many bulls surround me;strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13. Roaring lions that tear their preyopen their mouths wide against me.
14. I am poured out like water,and all my bones are out of joint.My heart has turned to wax;it has melted within me.
15. My mouth is dried up like a potsherd,and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;you lay me in the dust of death.
