But I am (A)a worm and not a man,
    (B)scorned by mankind and (C)despised by the people.
All who see me (D)mock me;
    they make mouths at me; they (E)wag their heads;
(F)“He trusts in the Lord; let him (G)deliver him;
    let him rescue him, for he (H)delights in him!”

Yet you are he who (I)took me from the womb;
    you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
10 On you was I cast from my birth,
    and from (J)my mother's womb you have been my God.
11 Be not (K)far from me,
    for trouble is near,
    and there is (L)none to help.

    you made me trust(K) in you, even at my mother’s breast.
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)
