Context of Psalms 22:7
5To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed. 6But I am a worm and not a man, A reproach of men and despised by the people. All who see me sneer at me; They separate with the lip, they wag the head, saying, 8“Commit yourself to the Lord; let Him deliver him; Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.” 9Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; You made me trust when upon my mother’s breasts.
