Psalms 22:5-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. They called to you for help.And they were rescued.They trusted you.And they were not disappointed.

6. But I am like a worm instead of a man.Men make fun of me.They look down on me.

7. Everyone who looks at me laughs.They stick out their tongues.They shake their heads.

8. They say, “Turn to the Lord for help.Maybe he will save you.If he likes you,maybe he will rescue you.”

9. You had my mother give birth to me.You made me trust youwhile I was just a baby.

10. I have leaned on you since the day I was born.You have been my God since my mother gave birth to me.

11. So don’t be far away from me.Now trouble is near,and there is no one to help.
