5 They called to you for help and escaped their enemies. They trusted you and were not disappointed!
6 But I feel like a worm, less than human! People insult me and look down on me.
7 Everyone who sees me makes fun of me. They shake their heads and stick out their tongues at me.
8 They say, “Call to the Lord for help. Maybe he will save you. If he likes you so much, surely he will rescue you!”
9 God, the truth is, you are the one who brought me into this world. You made me feel safe while I was still at my mother’s breasts.
10 You have been my God since the day I was born. I was thrown into your arms as I came from my mother’s womb.
11 So don’t leave me! Trouble is near, and there is no one to help me.
