Psalm 22:6-11

Good News Translation

⁶ But I am no longer a human being; I am a worm,
    despised and scorned by everyone!
^7 (A)All who see me make fun of me;
    they stick out their tongues and shake their heads.
^8 (B)“You relied on the Lord,” they say.
    “Why doesn't he save you?
If the Lord likes you,
    why doesn't he help you?”

⁹ It was you who brought me safely through birth,
    and when I was a baby, you kept me safe.
¹⁰ I have relied on you since the day I was born,
    and you have always been my God.
¹¹ Do not stay away from me!
    Trouble is near,
    and there is no one to help.
