Psalms 31:9-13

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

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

Because of all my adversaries, I have become a disgrace, 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 like a dead person, 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.
