5. In you our fathers trusted;they trusted and you rescued them.
6. To you they cried out and they escaped;in you they trusted and were not disappointed.
7. But I am a worm, not a man,scorned by men, despised by the people.
8. All who see me mock me;they curl their lips and jeer;they shake their heads at me:
9. “He relied on the Lord—let him deliver him;if he loves him, let him rescue him.”
10. For you drew me forth from the womb,made me safe at my mother’s breasts.
11. Upon you I was thrust from the womb;since my mother bore me you are my God.
12. Do not stay far from me,for trouble is near,and there is no one to help.
