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.
15My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me for thy mercy’s sake.
17Let me not be ashamed, O Lord; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.
18Let the lying lips be put to silence; Which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19O how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; Which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee Before the sons of men!
20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: Thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: Nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23O love the Lord, all ye his saints: For the Lord preserveth the faithful, And plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
