Psalms 22:6 meaning and explanation
But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by men and despised by the people.
Psalms 22:6, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
In this lament, David speaks as a suffering man surrounded by mockers, and verse 6 captures his sense of being stripped of all dignity. The Hebrew word for worm, tola, names a small, lowly creature, and the image expresses utter worthlessness rather than literal biology.
