Context of Psalms 22:7
5To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed. 6But I am a worm, not a man; people insult me and despise me. All who see me taunt me; they mock me and shake their heads. 8They say, “Commit yourself to the Lord! Let the Lord rescue him! Let the Lord deliver him, for he delights in him.” 9Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb and made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts.
