Psalm 31:8-16
New International Version
9 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;(C)
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,(D)
my soul and body(E) with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish(F)
and my years by groaning;(G)
my strength fails(H) because of my affliction,[a](I)
and my bones grow weak.(J)
11 Because of all my enemies,(K)
I am the utter contempt(L) of my neighbors(M)
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;(N)
I have become like broken pottery.
13 For I hear many whispering,(O)
“Terror on every side!”(P)
They conspire against me(Q)
and plot to take my life.(R)

Psalm 31:8-16
King James Version
Psalm 31:8-16
King James Version
8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.
