If you are his favorite,
let him protect you

at my mother's breast.
Psalm 22:17-20

and my enemies just stare
and sneer at me.
18 (A) They took my clothes
and gambled for them.

My strength comes from you,
so hurry and help.
20 Rescue me from enemy swords
and save me from those dogs.

now praise him!
You belong to Jacob's family
and to the people of Israel,
so fear and honor the Lord!

or despise the helpless
in all of their troubles.
When I cried out, he listened
and did not turn away.
