Context of Psalms 22:7
5They cried out to You and were delivered; They trusted in You and were not disappointed or ashamed. 6But I am [treated as] a worm [insignificant and powerless] and not a man; I am the scorn of men and despised by the people. All who see me laugh at me and mock me; They [insultingly] open their lips, they shake their head, saying, 8“He trusted and committed himself to the Lord, let Him save him. Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.” 9Yet You are He who pulled me out of the womb; You made me trust when on my mother’s breasts.
