Psalm 31:9-16

American Standard Version

⁹ Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress:
Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
¹⁰ For my life is spent with sorrow,
And my years with sighing:
My strength faileth because of mine iniquity,
And my bones are wasted away.
¹¹ Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach,
Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly,
And a fear to mine acquaintance:
They that did see me without fled from me.
¹² I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:
I am like a broken vessel.
¹³ For I have heard the defaming of many,
Terror on every side:
While they took counsel together against me,
They devised to take away my life.
¹⁴ But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah:
I said, Thou art my God.
¹⁵ My times are in thy hand:
Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
¹⁶ Make thy face to shine upon thy servant:
Save me in thy lovingkindness.
