But I am a worm(A) and not a man,
    scorned by everyone,(B) despised(C) by the people.
All who see me mock me;(D)
    they hurl insults,(E) shaking their heads.(F)
“He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
    “let the Lord rescue him.(G)
Let him deliver him,(H)
    since he delights(I) in him.”

Yet you brought me out of the womb;(J)

10 From birth(L) I was cast on you;
    from my mother’s womb you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,(M)
    for trouble is near(N)
    and there is no one to help.(O)
