Psalms 31:6-11

⁶I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.

⁷I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,

⁸And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.

⁹Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.

¹⁰For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.

¹¹More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
