American Standard Version

Psalm 31:10-16 American Standard Version (ASV)

10. For my life is spent with sorrow, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are wasted away.

11. Because of all mine adversaries I am become a reproach, Yea, unto my neighbors exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that did see me without fled from me.

12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

13. For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

14. But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.

15. My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

16. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.
