Psalms 31:7–13

7

I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness,

for you have seen my affliction.

You have known my soul in adversities.

8

You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy.

You have set my feet in a large place.

Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress.

My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.

Selected verse

For my life is spent with sorrow,

my years with sighing.

My strength fails because of my iniquity.

My bones are wasted away.

11

Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors,

a horror to my acquaintances.

Those who saw me on the street fled from me.

12

I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man.

I am like broken pottery.

13

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side,

while they conspire together against me,

they plot to take away my life.
