- 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.
- 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.
|
- But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD, I say, "You are my God."
- My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
- Make Your face to shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your lovingkindness.
- Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
- Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.
