Psalms 31:9-18

9Have mercyH2603 upon me, O YhwhH3068, for I am in troubleH6887: mine eyeH5869 is consumedH6244 with griefH3708, yea, my soulH5315 and my bellyH990.

10For my lifeH2416 is spentH3615 with griefH3015, and my yearsH8141 with sighingH585: my strengthH3581 failethH3782 because of mine iniquityH5771, and my bonesH6106 are consumedH6244.

11I was a reproachH2781 among all mine enemiesH6887, but especiallyH3966 among my neighboursH7934, and a fearH6343 to mine acquaintanceH3045: they that did seeH7200 me withoutH2351 fledH5074 from me.

12I am forgottenH7911 as a dead manH4191 out of mindH3820: I am like a brokenH6 vesselH3627.1

13For I have heardH8085 the slanderH1681 of manyH7227: fearH4032 was on every sideH5439: while they took counselH3245 togetherH3162 against me, they devisedH2161 to take awayH3947 my lifeH5315.

14But I trustedH982 in thee, O YhwhH3068: I saidH559, Thou art my GodH430.

15My timesH6256 are in thy handH3027: deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of mine enemiesH341, and from them that persecuteH7291 me.

16Make thy faceH6440 to shineH215 upon thy servantH5650: saveH3467 me for thy mercies’H2617 sake.

17Let me not be ashamedH954, O YhwhH3068; for I have calledH7121 upon thee: let the wickedH7563 be ashamedH954, and let them be silentH1826 in the graveH7585.2

18Let the lyingH8267 lipsH8193 be put to silenceH481; which speakH1696 grievousH6277 things proudlyH1346 and contemptuouslyH937 against the righteousH6662.3
