6
I hate those who cling to worthless idols; as for me, I trust in the LORD.
7
I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.
8
You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place.
9
Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief.
10
My life is consumed by anguish and my years by groaning; my strength fails because of my affliction,and my bones grow weak.
11
Because of all my enemies, I am the utter contempt of my neighbors and an object of dread to my closest friends— those who see me on the street flee from me.
12
I am forgotten as though I were dead; I have become like broken pottery.
13
For I hear many whispering, “Terror on every side!” They conspire against me and plot to take my life.
14
But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”
15
My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.
16
Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love.
