Context of Psalms 22:8

6But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7All they that see me laugh me to scorn: They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, Commit thyself unto Jehovah; let him deliver him: Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him. 9But thou art he that took me out of the womb; Thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts. 10I was cast upon thee from the womb; Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
