10. For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
11. Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, A fear to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
12. I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
13. For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
14. But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”
15. My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
