9 Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble:mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10 For my life is spent with grief,and my years with sighing:my strength faileth because of mine iniquity,and my bones are consumed.
11 I was a reproach among all mine enemies,but especially among my neighbors,and a fear to mine acquaintance:they that did see me without fled 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:fear was on every side:while they took counsel together against me,they devised to take away my life.
14 But I trusted in thee, O Lord:I said, Thou art my God.
15 My times are in thy hand:deliver me from the hand of mine enemies,and from them that persecute me.
