Psalm 31:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
    my eye is wasted from grief,
    my soul and my 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.

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.
