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.
18. Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
19. Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
