10 I was placed in your care from birth.From my mother’s womb you have been my God.
11 Do not be so far away from me.Trouble is near, and there is no one to help.
12 Many bulls have surrounded me.Strong bulls from Bashan have encircled me.
13 They have opened their mouths to attack melike ferocious, roaring lions.
14 I am poured out like water,and all my bones are out of joint.My heart is like wax.It has melted within me.
15 My strength is dried up like pieces of broken pottery.My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth.You lay me down in the dust of death.
16 Dogs have surrounded me.A mob has encircled me.They have pierced my hands and feet.
