Psalm 31:9-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

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

¹¹ I am the scorn of all my adversaries,
    a horror^[b] to my neighbors,
an object of dread to my acquaintances;
    those who see me in the street flee from me.^(B)
12 I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;
    I have become like a broken vessel.^(C)
