"For my life has fallen into sorrow, and my years into sighing. My virtue has been weakened in poverty, and my bones have been disturbed. "
— Psalms 30:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;”
“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; ”
“You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,”
“Then you turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and covered me with joy.”
“For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.”
“By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;”
“Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;”
I will exult and rejoice in your mercy. For you have looked upon my humility; you have saved my soul from needfulness.
And you have not enclosed me in the hands of the enemy. You have set my feet in a spacious place.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am troubled. My eye has been disturbed by wrath, along with my soul and my gut.
For my life has fallen into sorrow, and my years into sighing. My virtue has been weakened in poverty, and my bones have been disturbed.
I have become a disgrace among all my enemies, and even more so to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances. Those who catch sight of me, flee away from me.
I have become forgotten, like one dead to the heart. I have become like a damaged utensil.
For I have heard the harsh criticism of many who linger in the area. While assembled together against me in that place, they deliberated on how to take away my life.
