Psalms 22:6-11

The Forsaken Sufferer and the Worldwide Praise of the LORD

A cry of forsakenness moves through remembered trust, public humiliation, urgent petition, answered praise, and finally worldwide testimony to the LORD's righteous saving work.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.

7All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:

8“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”

9Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.

10From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.

11Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
