Psalm 31:10–16

10  For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing:

My strength faileth because of mine tiniquity, and umy bones are consumed.

11  I was a reproach among all mine enemies,

But wespecially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine xacquaintance:

yThey that did see me without fled from me.

12  I zam forgotten as a dead man out of mind:

I am like * a broken vessel.

13  aFor I have heard the slander of many:

abFear was on every side:

While they took counsel together against me,

They devised to take away my life.

14  But cI trusted in thee, O Lord:

I said, Thou art my God.

15  dMy times are in thy hand:

eDeliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and efrom them that persecute me.

16  fMake thy face to shine upon thy servant:

Save me for thy mercy’s sake.
