9. But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou hast made me wait upon thee since I was upon my mother’s breasts.
10. I was cast upon thee from the womb; thou art my God from my mother’s belly.
11. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is no one to help.
12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round about.
13. They opened their mouth upon me as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
