Context of Psalms 22:8
6They cried to you and were delivered. In You they trusted, and were not disappointed. 7Am I a worm, and not a man? Am I a scorn of men, despised by people? All who see me mock me. They curl their lips, shaking their heads: 9“Rely on Adonai! Let Him deliver him! Let Him rescue him— since he delights in Him!” 10Yet You brought me out of the womb, made me secure at my mother’s breasts.
