Psalm 22:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ But I am merely a worm,
    far less than human,
    and I am hated and rejected
    by people everywhere.
⁷ Everyone who sees me
    makes fun and sneers.
They shake their heads,
⁸     and say,
“Trust the Lord!
If you are his favorite,
    let him protect you
    and keep you safe.”
