I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, Because You have seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul,

9

Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also.

For my life is spent with sorrow And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my iniquity, And my body has wasted away.

11

Because of all my adversaries, I have become a reproach, Especially to my neighbors, And an object of dread to my acquaintances; Those who see me in the street flee from me.

I am forgotten as a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.

For I have heard the slander of many, Terror is on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They schemed to take away my life.
