Psalm 31:6–14
6 I hate those who aregard 1vain idols,
But I btrust in the Lord.
7 I will arejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,
Because You have bseen my affliction;
You have known the troubles of my soul,
8 And You have not agiven me over into the hand of the enemy;
You have set my feet in a large place.
9 Be gracious to me, O Lord, for aI am in distress;
My beye is wasted away from grief, cmy soul and my body also.
10 For my life is spent with asorrow
And my years with sighing;
My bstrength has failed because of my iniquity,
And cmy 1body has wasted away.
11 Because of all my adversaries, I have become a areproach,
Especially to my bneighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I am aforgotten as a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the 1aslander of many,
bTerror is on every side;
While they ctook counsel together against me,
They dschemed to take away my life.
14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord,
I say, “aYou are my God.”
