Context of Psalms 22:7
5They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not ashamed. 6But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8Commit thyself unto the LORD; let him deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighteth in him. 9But thou art he that took me out the womb: thou didst make me trust when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
