Psalm 30:10–19

¹⁰Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:

¹¹For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.

¹²I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.

¹³I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.

¹⁴For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.

¹⁵But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.

¹⁶My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.

¹⁷Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.

¹⁸Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.

¹⁹Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
