Psalms 31:8-13 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

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.
