9. Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;my eye wastes away with grief,yes, my soul and my body.
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.”
