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.
10. I was cast upon you from birth: you are my God from my mother's womb.
11. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round about.
13. They gaped on me with their mouths, 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 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.

24. For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25. My praise shall be of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live forever.
