10. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
11. For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
12. I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
13. I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
14. For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
15. But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
16. My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
17. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
