Psalm 31:9-13

New American Standard Bible

⁹ Be gracious to me, Lord, for ^(A)I am in distress;
My ^(B)eye is wasted away from grief, ^(C)my soul and my body too.
¹⁰ For my life is spent with ^(D)sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My ^(E)strength has failed because of my guilt,
And ^(F)my ^[a]body has wasted away.
¹¹ Because of all my adversaries, I have become a ^(G)disgrace,
Especially to my ^(H)neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.
¹² I am ^(I)forgotten like a dead person, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.
¹³ For I have heard the ^[b](J)slander of many,
^(K)Terror is on every side;
While they ^(L)took counsel together against me,
They ^(M)schemed to take away my life.
