Psalms 22:3-8 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

3. But thou art holy, thou that dostinhabit Isr'el's praise.

4. Our fathers hop'd in thee, they hop'dand thou didst them release.

5. When unto thee they sent their cry,to them deliv'rance came:Because they put their trust in thee,they were not put to shame.

6. But as for me, a worm I am,and as no man am priz'd:Reproach of men I am, and bythe people am despis'd.

7. All that me see laugh me to scorn;shoot out the lip do they;They nod and shake their heads at me,and, mocking, thus do say,

8. This man did trust in God, that hewould free him by his might:Let him deliver him, sith hehad in him such delight.
