⁹ Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;^(A)
    my eyes grow weak with sorrow,^(B)
    my soul and body^(C) with grief.
¹⁰ My life is consumed by anguish^(D)
    and my years by groaning;^(E)
my strength fails^(F) because of my affliction,^[a](G)
    and my bones grow weak.^(H)
11 Because of all my enemies,^(I)
    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.
¹² I am forgotten as though I were dead;^(L)
    I have become like broken pottery.
¹³ For I hear many whispering,^(M)
    “Terror on every side!”^(N)
They conspire against me^(O)
    and plot to take my life.^(P)

¹⁴ But I trust^(Q) in you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”
¹⁵ My times^(R) are in your hands;
    deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
    from those who pursue me.
¹⁶ Let your face shine^(S) on your servant;
    save me in your unfailing love.^(T)

¹⁰ Yet it was the Lord’s will^(A) to crush^(B) him and cause him to suffer,^(C)
    and though the Lord makes^[a] his life an offering for sin,^(D)
he will see his offspring^(E) and prolong his days,
    and the will of the Lord will prosper^(F) in his hand.
¹¹ After he has suffered,^(G)
    he will see the light^(H) of life^[b] and be satisfied^[c];
by his knowledge^[d] my righteous servant^(I) will justify^(J) many,
    and he will bear their iniquities.^(K)
12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great,^[e](L)
    and he will divide the spoils^(M) with the strong,^[f]
because he poured out his life unto death,^(N)
    and was numbered with the transgressors.^(O)
For he bore^(P) the sin of many,^(Q)
    and made intercession^(R) for the transgressors.

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    a son of man that you care for him?^(L)
7 You made them a little^[a] lower than the angels;
    you crowned them with glory and honor
⁸     and put everything under their feet.”^[b][c](M)
