(A)But You are He who took Me out of the womb;
You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts.
10 I was cast upon You from birth.
From My mother’s womb
(B)You have been My God.
11 Be not far from Me,
For trouble is near;
For there is none to help.

12 (C)Many bulls have surrounded Me;
Strong bulls of (D)Bashan have encircled Me.
13 (E)They [a]gape at Me with their mouths,
Like a raging and roaring lion.

14 I am poured out like water,
(F)And all My bones are out of joint;
My heart is like wax;
It has melted [b]within Me.
15 (G)My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
And (H)My tongue clings to My jaws;
You have brought Me to the dust of death.
