Context of Psalms 22:11
9Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb and made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts. 10I have been dependent on you since birth; from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God. Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me. 12Many bulls surround me; powerful bulls of Bashan hem me in. 13They open their mouths to devour me like a roaring lion that rips its prey.
