5 If I die, I cannot praise youor even remember you.
6 My groaning has worn me out.At night my bed and pilloware soaked with tears.
7 Sorrow has made my eyes dim,and my sight has failedbecause of my enemies.
8 You, Lord, heard my crying,and those hateful peoplehad better leave me alone.
9 You have answered my prayerand my plea for mercy.
10 My enemies will be ashamedand terrified,as they quickly run awayin complete disgrace.
