Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
    my eye wastes away with grief,
    yes, my soul and my body.
10 For my life is spent with grief,
    and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
    and my bones waste away.

    but especially among my neighbors,
and a dread to my acquaintances;
    those who saw me outside fled from me.

    I am the utter contempt(J) of my neighbors(K)
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
    those who see me on the street flee from me.
