Psalms 31:7-12

⁷I will be very glad DOU because you faithfully love me. You see me when I have been afflicted, and you have known when I have had troubles.

⁸You have not allowed my enemies to capture me; instead, you have rescued me from danger.

⁹But now, Yahweh, be kind to me again because I am distressed. Because I cry so much, I cannot see well, and I am completely exhausted.

¹⁰I have become very weak because I am so miserable, and it is causing my life to become shorter. I have become weak because of all my troubles; even my bones are becoming weaker.

¹¹All of my enemies make fun of me, and even my neighbors despise me. Even my friends are afraid of me because they think I am being punished by God, and when they see me on the streets, they run away.

¹²People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. They think I am as useless as a broken pot.
