Psalms 31:8-14

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

⁹Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: Mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.

¹⁰For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

¹¹I was a reproach among all mine enemies, But especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.

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

¹³For I have heard the slander of many: Fear was on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

¹⁴But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
