6I am worn out with grief;

every night my bed is damp from my weeping;

my pillow is soaked with tears.

7I can hardly see;

my eyes are so swollen

from the weeping caused by my enemies.

8*Keep away from me, you evil people!

The Lord hears my weeping;

9he listens to my cry for help

and will answer my prayer.

10My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat;

in sudden confusion they will be driven away.
