6. (7) I hate them that are the shomrim of lying vanities [i.e., idols]; but I trust in Hashem.
7. (8) I will be glad and rejoice in Thy chesed; for Thou hast seen my affliction; Thou hast known the tzoros (troubles) of my nefesh;
8. (9) And hast not shut me up into the yad of the oyev (enemy); Thou hast set my feet in a merkhav (large place, spacious or broad place).
9. (10) Channeni, Hashem, for I am in tzoros; mine eye is consumed with ka'as (grief), my nefesh and my beten.
10. (11) For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groaning; my ko'ach faileth because of mine avon (iniquity), and my atzmot waste away.
11. (12) I was a cherpah (reproach, scorn, disgrace) among all mine enemies, but especially among my shchenim (neighbors), and a dread to mine acquaintance; they that did see me outside fled from me.
12. (13) I am forgotten like a dead man out of mind; I am like a keli oved (broken vessel).
13. (14) For I have heard the dibbah (evil report, slander) of many; terror was on every side; while they conspire against me, they plot to take my nefesh.
14. (15) But I trust in Thee, Hashem; I said, Thou art Elohai.
15. (16) My times are in Thy yad; deliver me from the yad of mine oyevim (enemies), and from them that persecute me.
