Psalms 22:11
9 Yet You brought me forth from the womb; You made me secure at my mother’s breast.
10 From birth I was cast upon You; from my mother’s womb You have been my God.
Be not far from me, for trouble is near and there is no one to help.
12 Many bulls surround me; strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
13 They open their jaws against me like lions that roar and maul.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
