⁶ I hate those who cling to worthless idols;^(J)
    as for me, I trust in the Lord.^(K)
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
    for you saw my affliction^(L)
    and knew the anguish^(M) of my soul.
⁸ You have not given me into the hands^(N) of the enemy
    but have set my feet in a spacious place.^(O)

⁹ Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;^(P)
    my eyes grow weak with sorrow,^(Q)
    my soul and body^(R) with grief.
¹⁰ My life is consumed by anguish^(S)
    and my years by groaning;^(T)
my strength fails^(U) because of my affliction,^[a](V)
    and my bones grow weak.^(W)
11 Because of all my enemies,^(X)
    I am the utter contempt^(Y) of my neighbors^(Z)
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;^(AA)
    I have become like broken pottery.
¹³ For I hear many whispering,^(AB)
    “Terror on every side!”^(AC)
They conspire against me^(AD)
    and plot to take my life.^(AE)

¹⁴ But I trust^(AF) in you, Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”
¹⁵ My times^(AG) are in your hands;
    deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
    from those who pursue me.
¹⁶ Let your face shine^(AH) on your servant;
    save me in your unfailing love.^(AI)
17 Let me not be put to shame,^(AJ) Lord,
    for I have cried out to you;
but let the wicked be put to shame
    and be silent^(AK) in the realm of the dead.
¹⁸ Let their lying lips^(AL) be silenced,
    for with pride and contempt
    they speak arrogantly^(AM) against the righteous.

¹⁹ How abundant are the good things^(AN)
    that you have stored up for those who fear you,
that you bestow in the sight of all,^(AO)
    on those who take refuge^(AP) in you.
