⁹ Be gracious to me, Lord,
because I am in distress;^(A)
my eyes are worn out from frustration—
my whole being^[a] as well.^(B)
10 Indeed, my life is consumed with grief
and my years with groaning;^(C)
my strength has failed
because of my iniquity,^[b]
and my bones waste away.^(D)
11 I am ridiculed by all my adversaries
and even by my neighbors.
I am dreaded by my acquaintances;
those who see me in the street run from me.^(E)
