2. During the day I call to you, my God,but you do not answer;I call at night,but get no rest.
3. But you are enthroned as the Holy One,the one whom Israel praises.
4. Our ancestors put their trust in you;they trusted you, and you saved them.
5. They called to you and escaped from danger;they trusted you and were not disappointed.
6. But I am no longer a human being; I am a worm,despised and scorned by everyone!
7. All who see me jeer at me;they stick out their tongues and shake their heads.
8. “You relied on the Lord,” they say.“Why doesn't he save you?If the Lord likes you,why doesn't he help you?”
