Psalms 22:6-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

6. But I’m just a worm, less than human;insulted by one person, despised by another.

7. All who see me make fun of me—they gape, shaking their heads:

8. "He committed himself to the Lord, so let God rescue him;let God deliver himbecause God likes him so much."

9. But you are the one who pulled me from the womb,placing me safely at my mother’s breasts.

10. I was thrown on you from birth;you’ve been my Godsince I was in my mother’s womb.

11. Please don’t be far from me,because trouble is nearand there’s no one to help.

12. Many bulls surround me;mighty bulls from Bashan encircle me.
