7
I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy, For You have considered my trouble; You have known my soul in adversities,
8
And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a wide place.
9
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; My eye wastes away with grief, Yes, my soul and my body!
10
For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing; My strength fails because of my iniquity, And my bones waste away.
11
I am a reproach among all my enemies, But especially among my neighbors, And am repulsive to my acquaintances; Those who see me outside flee from me.
12
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel.
13
For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life.
14
But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God."
15
My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me.
16
Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies' sake.
17
Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You; Let the wicked be ashamed; Let them be silent in the grave.
