Psalm 22:6–18

6 But I am a worme and not a man,

scorned by everyone,f despisedg by the people.

7 All who see me mock me;h

they hurl insults,i shaking their heads.j

8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,

“let the Lord rescue him.k

Let him deliver him,l

since he delightsm in him.”

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;n

you made me trusto in you, even at my mother’s breast.

10 From birthp I was cast on you;

from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,q

for trouble is nearr

and there is no one to help.s

12 Many bullst surround me;u

strong bulls of Bashanv encircle me.

13 Roaring lionsw that tear their preyx

open their mouths widey against me.

14 I am poured out like water,

and all my bones are out of joint.z

My heart has turned to wax;a

it has meltedb within me.

15 My mouthd is dried up like a potsherd,c

and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;d

you lay me in the duste of death.

16 Dogsf surround me,

a pack of villains encircles me;

they piercee g my hands and my feet.

17 All my bones are on display;

people stareh and gloat over me.i

18 They divide my clothes among them

and cast lotsj for my garment.k
