Psalm 22:10-12
New English Translation
10 I have been dependent on you since birth;[a]
from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God.[b]
11 Do not remain far away from me,
for trouble is near and I have no one to help me.[c]
12 Many bulls[d] surround me;
powerful bulls of Bashan[e] hem me in.
