9 Lord, show me your favor. I'm in deep trouble. I'm so sad I can hardly see. My whole body grows weak with sadness.
10 Pain has taken over my life. My years are spent in groaning. I have no strength because I'm hurting so much. My body is getting weaker and weaker.
11 My neighbors make fun of me because I have so many enemies. My friends are afraid of me. Those who see me on the street run away from me.
12 They have forgotten me. I might as well be dead. I have become like broken pottery.
13 I hear the lies many people tell about me. There is terror all around me. Many have joined together against me. They plan to kill me.
14 But I trust in you, Lord. I say, "You are my God."
15 My whole life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies. Save me from those who are chasing me.
