Psalm 22:6-18
New International Version
6 But I am a worm(A) and not a man,
scorned by everyone,(B) despised(C) by the people.
7 All who see me mock me;(D)
they hurl insults,(E) shaking their heads.(F)
8 “He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
“let the Lord rescue him.(G)
Let him deliver him,(H)
since he delights(I) in him.”
9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;(J)
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.
12 Many bulls(P) surround me;(Q)
strong bulls of Bashan(R) encircle me.
13 Roaring lions(S) that tear their prey(T)
open their mouths wide(U) against me.
14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.(V)
My heart has turned to wax;(W)
it has melted(X) within me.
15 My mouth[a] is dried up like a potsherd,(Y)
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;(Z)
you lay me in the dust(AA) of death.
