6
(30-7) Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
7
(30-8) I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou hast regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
8
(30-9) And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
9
(30-10) Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
10
(30-11) For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
11
(30-12) I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
12
(30-13) I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
13
(30-14) For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
14
(30-15) But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
15
(30-16) My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
16
(30-17) Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
