8. They say, “Turn to the Lord for help.Maybe he will save you.If he likes you,maybe he will rescue you.”
9. You had my mother give birth to me.You made me trust youwhile I was just a baby.
10. I have leaned on you since the day I was born;you have been my God since my mother gave me birth.
11. So don’t be far away from me.Now trouble is near,and there is no one to help.
12. People have surrounded me like angry bulls.Like the strong bulls of Bashan, they are on every side.
