5 I entrust my spirit into your hands;you, Lord, God of faithfulness—you have saved me.
6 I hate those who embrace what is completely worthless.I myself trust the Lord.
7 I rejoice and celebrate in your faithful lovebecause you saw my suffering—you were intimately acquainted with my deep distress.
8 You didn’t hand me over to the enemy,but set my feet in wide-open spaces.
9 Have mercy on me, Lord, because I’m depressed.My vision fails because of my grief,as do my spirit and my body.
10 My life is consumed with sadness;my years are consumed with groaning.Strength fails me because of my suffering;my bones dry up.
11 I’m a joke to all my enemies,still worse to my neighbors.I scare my friends,and whoever sees me in the street runs away!
