Psalms 22:4-9 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

4. Our ancestors trusted you. Yes, they trusted you, and you saved them.

5. They called to you for help and escaped their enemies. They trusted you and were not disappointed!

6. But I feel like a worm, less than human! People insult me and look down on me.

7. Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They shake their heads and stick out their tongues at me.

8. They say, “Call to the Lord for help. Maybe he will save you. If he likes you so much, surely he will rescue you!”

9. God, the truth is, you are the one who brought me into this world. You made me feel safe while I was still at my mother’s breasts.
