Psalms 31:7-15 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

7. I will be glad and rejoice in thy loving-kindness, for thou hast seen mine affliction; thou hast known the troubles of my soul,

8. And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large place.

9. Be gracious unto me, Jehovah, for I am in trouble: mine eye wasteth away with vexation, my soul and my belly.

10. For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength faileth through mine iniquity, and my bones are wasted.

11. More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.

12. I am forgotten in their heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.

13. For I have heard the slander of many--terror on every side--when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.

14. But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God

15. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
