8. He trusted in the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
9. But you are he that took me out of the womb: you did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.

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 body.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue clings to my jaws; and you have brought me to the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I can count all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
