6. But I am a worm, and no man;a reproach of men, and despised by the people.

7. All those who see me mock me.They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

8. "He trusts in The LORD.Let him deliver him.Let him rescue him, since he delights in him."

9. But you brought me out of the womb.You made me trust while at my mother's breasts.

10. I was thrown on you from my mother's womb.You are my God since my mother bore me.

11. Don't be far from me, for trouble is near.For there is no one to help.

12. Many bulls have surrounded me.Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

13. They open their mouths wide against me,lions tearing prey and roaring.

14. I am poured out like water.All my bones are out of joint.My heart is like wax;it is melted within me.

15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd.My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.You have brought me into the dust of death.

16. For dogs have surrounded me.A company of evildoers have enclosed me.They have pierced my hands and feet.

17. I can count all of my bones.They look and stare at me.

18. They divide my garments among them.They cast lots for my clothing.

19. But don't be far off, The LORD.You are my help: hurry to help me.

20. Deliver my soul from the sword,my precious life from the power of the dog.

21. Save me from the lion's mouth!Yes, from the horns of the wild oxen, you have answered me.

7. Because for your sake, I have borne reproach.Shame has covered my face.

8. I have become a stranger to my brothers,an alien to my mother's children.

9. For the zeal of your house consumes me.The reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me.

10. When I wept and I fasted,that was to my reproach.

11. When I made sackcloth my clothing,I became a byword to them.

12. Those who sit in the gate talk about me.I am the song of the drunkards.

13. But as for me, my prayer is to you, The LORD, in an acceptable time.God, in the abundance of your loving kindness, answer me in the truth of your salvation.

14. Deliver me out of the mire, and don't let me sink.Let me be delivered from those who hate me, and out of the deep waters.

15. Don't let the flood waters overwhelm me,neither let the deep swallow me up.Don't let the pit shut its mouth on me.

16. Answer me, The LORD, for your loving kindness is good.According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.

17. Don't hide your face from your servant,for I am in distress.Answer me speedily!

18. Draw near to my soul, and redeem it.Ransom me because of my enemies.

19. You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor.My adversaries are all before you.

20. Reproach has broken my heart, and I am full of heaviness.I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;for comforters, but I found none.

I have also become a reproach to them.When they see me, they shake their head.

I gave my back to those who beat me,and my cheeks to those who plucked off the hair.I didn't hide my face from shame and spitting.
