Psalms 31:3-12

³For thou art my rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.

⁴Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.

⁵Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.

⁶I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust in the Lord.

⁷I wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,

⁸And thou hast not shut me vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.

⁹Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.

¹⁰For my life is wasted with heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.

¹¹I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, fled from me.

¹²I am forgotten, as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.
