8 I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,
9 He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.
10 But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.
11 I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.
12 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.
13 A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.
14 I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.
