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.
16. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
17. Jehovah, let me not be ashamed; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.
18. Let the lying lips become dumb, which speak insolently against the righteous in pride and contempt.
19. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee, which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee, before the sons of men!
