4. Thou shalt pull me out of the net that they have laid in secret for me; for thou art my strength.
5. Into thy hand shall I commit my spirit; thou shalt ransom me, O Lord God of truth.
6. I have hated those that regard lying vanities; but I wait in the Lord.
7. I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy, for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities
8. and hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; thou hast set my feet in a wide place.
9. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
10. For my life is spent with grief and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11. I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to my acquaintances: those that see me without flee from me.
12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I have become like a lost vessel.
13. For I have heard the slander of many; fear was on every side; while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
