5. Into your hands I commit my very life. Lord, set me free. You are my faithful God.
6. I hate those who worship worthless statues of gods. I trust in the Lord.
7. I will be glad and full of joy because you love me. You saw that I was hurting. You took note of my great pain.
8. You have not handed me over to the enemy. You have put me in a wide and safe place.
9. Lord, show me your favor. I'm in deep trouble. I'm so sad I can hardly see. My whole body grows weak with sadness.
10. Pain has taken over my life. My years are spent in groaning. I have no strength because I'm hurting so much. My body is getting weaker and weaker.
11. My neighbors make fun of me because I have so many enemies. My friends are afraid of me. Those who see me on the street run away from me.
12. They have forgotten me. I might as well be dead. I have become like broken pottery.
13. I hear the lies many people tell about me. There is terror all around me. Many have joined together against me. They plan to kill me.
14. But I trust in you, Lord. I say, "You are my God."
15. My whole life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies. Save me from those who are chasing me.
