9. Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womband made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts.
10. I have been dependent on you since birth;from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God.
11. Do not remain far away from me,for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.
12. Many bulls surround me;powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in.
13. They open their mouths to devour melike a roaring lion that rips its prey.
14. My strength drains away like water;all my bones are dislocated;my heart is like wax;it melts away inside me.
15. The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery;my tongue sticks to my gums.You set me in the dust of death.
16. Yes, wild dogs surround me – a gang of evil men crowd around me;like a lion they pin my hands and feet.
17. I can count all my bones;my enemies are gloating over me in triumph.
18. They are dividing up my clothes among themselves;they are rolling dice for my garments.
