Psalms 31:7-12

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.
