Psalms 22:4-14 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

4. Our ancestors trusted you; they trusted and you delivered them.

5. They cried to you and were saved; they trusted you and were not ashamed.

6. But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by humankind and despised by people.

7. All who see me mock me. They open wide their lips; they shake the head, saying:

8. “He trusts Yahweh. Let him rescue him. Let him deliver him because he delights in him.”

9. Yet you took me from the belly; you made me trust while on my mother’s breasts.

10. On you I was cast from the womb. From my mother’s belly you have been my God.

11. Do not be far from me because trouble is near; because there is no helper.

12. Many bulls have encircled me; mighty bulls of Bashan have surrounded me.

13. They open their mouth against me like a lion tearing and roaring.

14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.
