8. “He trusts in Yahweh; let him deliver him. Let him rescue him, since he delights in him.”
9. But you brought me out of the womb. You made me trust while at my mother’s breasts.
10. I was thrown on you from my mother’s womb. You are my God since my mother bore me.
11. Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.
12. Many bulls have surrounded me. Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
13. They open their mouths wide against me, lions tearing prey and roaring.
14. I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; it is melted within me.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have brought me into the dust of death.
16. For dogs have surrounded me. A company of evildoers have enclosed me. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17. I can count all of my bones. They look and stare at me.
18. They divide my garments among them. They cast lots for my clothing.
19. But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help: hurry to help me.
