Psalm 31:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
    my eye wastes away with grief,
    yes, my soul and my body.
¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief,
    and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
    and my bones waste away.
¹¹ I became a reproach among all my enemies,
    but especially among my neighbors,
and a dread to my acquaintances;
    those who saw me outside fled from me.
