5 They called to you for helpand were rescued.They trusted youand were not disappointed.
6 But I am like a worm instead of a man.People make fun of me and hate me.
7 Those who look at me laugh.They stick out their tongues and shake their heads.
8 They say, “Turn to the Lord for help.Maybe he will save you.If he likes you,maybe he will rescue you.”
9 You had my mother give birth to me.You made me trust youwhile I was just a baby.
10 I have leaned on you since the day I was born;you have been my God since my mother gave me birth.
11 So don’t be far away from me.Now trouble is near,and there is no one to help.
