4. In Thee did our fathers trust--they trusted, And Thou dost deliver them.
5. Unto Thee they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.
6. And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
7. All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip--shake the head,
8. `Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted in him.'
9. For thou [art] He bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.
10. On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.
11. Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
12. Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
13. They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.
14. As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15. Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
16. And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
17. I count all my bones--they look expectingly, They look upon me,
18. They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
