5 Into thine hands I do commitmy sp'rit: for thou art he,O thou, JEHOVAH, God of truth,that hast redeemed me.
6 Those that do lying vanitiesregard, I have abhorr'd:But as for me, my confidenceis fixed on the Lord.
7 I'll in thy mercy gladly joy:for thou my miseriesConsider'd hast; thou hast my soulknown in adversities:
8 And thou hast not inclosed mewithin the en'my's hand;And by thee have my feet been madein a large room to stand.
9 O Lord, upon me mercy have,for trouble is on me:Mine eye, my belly, and my soul,with grief consumed be.
10 Because my life with grief is spent,my years with sighs and groans:My strength doth fail; and for my sinconsumed are my bones.
11 I was a scorn to all my foes,and to my friends a fear;And specially reproach'd of thosethat were my neighbours near:When they me saw they from me fled.
