Context of Psalms 22:7
5They cried to you and were set free; they trusted in you and were not disgraced. 6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people. Everyone who sees me mocks me; they sneer and shake their heads: 8“He relies on the Lord; let him save him; let the Lord rescue him, since he takes pleasure in him.” 9It was you who brought me out of the womb, making me secure at my mother’s breast.
