Psalms 31:7-12

⁷I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy, That thou hast looked upon my trouble, And hast had regard to my distress;

⁸That thou hast not given me up to the hands of my enemies, But hast set my feet in a wide place.

⁹Have mercy upon me, O LORD! for I am in trouble! My face is consumed with grief; Yea, my spirit and my body.

¹⁰For my life is wasted with sorrow, And my years with sighing; My strength faileth by reason of my affliction, And my bones are consumed on account of all my enemies.

¹¹I have become the scorn of my neighbors, And the terror of my acquaintance; They who see me abroad flee from me.

¹²I am forgotten like a dead man out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
