Psalm 31:10-16

English Standard Version

¹⁰For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
and ^(A)my bones waste away.

¹¹Because of all my adversaries I have become ^(B)a reproach,
    especially to my ^(C)neighbors,
and an object of dread to my acquaintances;
    those who see me in the street ^(D)flee from me.
¹²I have been ^(E)forgotten like one who is dead;
    I have become like ^(F)a broken vessel.
¹³For I ^(G)hear the whispering of many—
    terror on every side!—
^(H)as they scheme together against me,
    as they plot to take my life.

¹⁴But I ^(I)trust in you, O Lord;
    I say, “You are my God.”
¹⁵My ^(J)times are in your hand;
    ^(K)rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
¹⁶^(L)Make your face shine on your servant;
    save me in your steadfast love!
