6
I have hated them that observe lying vanities; and as for me, I have confided in Jehovah.
7
I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,
8
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.
9
Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.
10
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.
11
More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
12
I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
13
For I have heard the slander of many -- terror on every side -- when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
14
But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.
15
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
16
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
