The Hebrew root for "brought" is "גָּחַח" (gachach), which conveys the idea of drawing forth or delivering. This imagery reflects God's intimate involvement in the process of birth, underscoring His sovereignty and care from the very beginning of life. Historically, this acknowledgment of God's role in birth is consistent with the ancient Near Eastern understanding of life as a divine gift, a perspective that is deeply embedded in the Hebrew Scriptures.<p><b>You made me secure at my mother’s breast</b><br />The word "secure" in Hebrew is "בָּטַח" (batach), which means to trust or feel safe. This phrase paints a picture of the nurturing and protective environment provided by God through the natural bond between a mother and her child. The imagery of a mother's breast is a powerful symbol of sustenance and comfort, reflecting the provision and care that God extends to His people. In the scriptural context, this security is not just physical but also spiritual, indicating a deep trust in God's provision and care from the earliest moments of life.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/22.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) <span class= "bld">But.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">For. </span>Faith that turns to God in spite of derision is the best answer to derision.<p><span class= "bld">Thou didst make me hope.</span>--Better, <span class= "ital">thou didst make me repose on my mother's breast.</span><p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/psalms/22.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 9.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">But thou art he that took me out of the womb</span> (comp. <a href="/job/10-8.htm">Job 10:8-11</a>).
