7. I will be glad because of your love.You saw my suffering.You knew my troubles.
8. You have not let my enemies defeat me.You have set me in a safe place.
9. Lord, have mercy. I am in misery.My eyes are weak from so much crying.My whole being is tired from grief.
10. My life is ending in sadness.My years are spent in crying.My troubles are using up my strength.My bones are getting weaker.
11. Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me.Even my neighbors look down on me.When my friends see me,they are afraid and run.
12. I am like a piece of a broken pot.I am forgotten as if I were dead.
13. I have heard many insults.Terror is all around me.They make plans against me.They want to kill me.
14. Lord, I trust you.I have said, “You are my God.”
15. My life is in your hands.Save me from my enemies’ grasp.Save me from those who are chasing me.
16. Show your kindness to me, your servant.Save me because of your love.
17. Lord, I called to you.So do not let me be disgraced.Let the wicked be disgraced.Let them lie silent in the grave.
