Psalms 22:8
6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock me; they sneer and shake their heads:
“He trusts in the LORD, let the LORD deliver him; let the LORD rescue him, since He delights in him.”
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
