Context of Psalms 22:11
9Lord, you brought me safely to birth. You took care of me at my mother's breasts. 10From the day that I was born, I have always been in your care. You have been my God since my mother gave birth to me. So do not stay far from me now. Trouble is near to me, and there is nobody to help me. 12There is danger all round me, like the strong bulls of Bashan. I cannot move because my enemies are very near, all around me. 13They open their mouths like lions! They are ready to eat me! They are like lions that tear their food into pieces.
