Psalms 31:6-16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

6. I hate those who regard vain idols, But I trust in the Lord.

7. I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, Because You have seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul,

8. And You have not given me over into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a large place.

9. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also.

10. For my life is spent with sorrow And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my iniquity, And my body has wasted away.

11. Because of all my adversaries, I have become a reproach, Especially to my neighbors, And an object of dread to my acquaintances; Those who see me in the street flee 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 slander of many, Terror is on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They schemed to take away my life.

14. But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord, I say, "You are my God."

15. My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.

16. Make Your face to shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your lovingkindness.
