Context of Psalms 31:7

5I put my life into your hands. I know that you will save me, Lord, because you are a God that I can trust. 6I hate people who worship useless idols. As for me, I trust in the Lord. I am very happy because of your faithful love. You see when I suffer. You know when I am very upset. 8You have not put me under the power of my enemies. You have led me into an open place, where I can be safe. 9Lord, I am very upset, so please be kind to me. My eyes are tired because I weep so much. My whole body has become very weak.
