Psalm 31:9-12

English Standard Version

⁹ Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am ^(A)in distress;
    ^(B)my eye is wasted from grief;
    my soul and my body also.
¹⁰ For my life is spent with sorrow,
    and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
    and ^(C)my bones waste away.

¹¹ Because of all my adversaries I have become ^(D)a reproach,
    especially to my ^(E)neighbors,
and an object of dread to my acquaintances;
    those who see me in the street ^(F)flee from me.
¹² I have been ^(G)forgotten like one who is dead;
    I have become like ^(H)a broken vessel.
