Context of Psalms 22:7

5They cried unto thee, and were delivered; they confided in thee, and were not confounded. 6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and the despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn; they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, [saying:] 8Commit it to Jehovah — let him rescue him; let him deliver him, because he delighteth in him! 9But thou art he that took me out of the womb; thou didst make me trust, upon my mother's breasts.
