9. You took me from the womb,making me secure while at my mother’s breast.
10. I was given over to You at birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb.
11. Do not be far from me, because distress is nearand there is no one to help.
12. Many bulls surround me;strong ones of Bashan encircle me.
13. They open their mouths against me —lions, mauling and roaring.
14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed; my heart is like wax,melting within me.
15. My strength is dried up like baked clay; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You put me into the dust of death.
