Psalms 31:7-12 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

7. I celebrate and shoutbecause you are kind.You saw all my suffering,and you cared for me.

8. You kept me from the handsof my enemies,and you set me free.

9. Have pity, Lord!I am suffering and almost blind.My whole body aches.

10. I have known only sorrowall my life long, and I sufferyear after year.I am weak from sin,and my bones are limp.

11. My enemies insult me.Neighbours are even worse,and I disgust my friends.People meet me in the street,and they turn and run.

12. I am completely forgottenlike someone dead.I am merely a broken dish.
