5 I entrust my spirit into your hand.Rescue me, lord, for you are a faithful God.
6 I hate those who worship worthless idols.I trust in the lord.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love,for you have seen my troubles,and you care about the anguish of my soul.
8 You have not handed me over to my enemiesbut have set me in a safe place.
9 Have mercy on me, lord, for I am in distress.Tears blur my eyes.My body and soul are withering away.
10 I am dying from grief;my years are shortened by sadness.Sin has drained my strength;I am wasting away from within.
11 I am scorned by all my enemiesand despised by my neighbors—even my friends are afraid to come near me.When they see me on the street,they run the other way.
