Psalms 31 — Context

I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;

And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are wasted with grief, I am wasted in soul and body.

My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.

Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.

I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.

False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.
