10. For my life is spent with grief,and my years with sighing;my strength fails because of my iniquity,and my bones waste away.
11. I became a reproach among all my enemies,but especially among my neighbors,and a dread to my acquaintances;those who saw me outside fled fromme.
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 againstme,they planned to take away my life.
14. But I trusted in You, O Lord;I said, “You are my God.”
15. My times are in Your hand;deliver me from the hand of my enemiesand my pursuers.
16. Make Your face to shine on Your servant;save me by Your lovingkindness.
17. Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord,for I have called on You;let the wicked be ashamed,and let them be silent in the grave.
18. Let the lying lips be put to silence,who speak arrogantlyin pride and contempt against the righteous.
19. Oh, how great is Your goodness,which You have laid up for those who fear You,which You have done for thoseseeking refuge in You before people!
