Context of Psalms 22:7
5They called aloud to you and you saved them. They trusted in you, and you did not disappoint them. 6People insult me. They think that I am worth nothing. It seems that I am only a worm, and I am not really a man. Everyone that sees me laughs at me. They laugh and they shake their heads. 8They say, ‘He should trust in the Lord! The Lord should save him. If the Lord is really happy with him, the Lord should rescue him.’ 9Lord, you brought me safely to birth. You took care of me at my mother's breasts.
