Context of Psalms 22:8
6But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people. 7Everyone who sees me mocks me; they sneer and shake their heads: “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. 10I was given over to you at birth; you have been my God from my mother’s womb.
