New Testament

Psalms 31:6-12 New Century Version (NCV)

6. I hate those who worship false gods.I trust only in the Lord.

7. I will be glad and rejoice in your love,because you saw my suffering;you knew my troubles.

8. You have not handed me over to my enemiesbut have set me in a safe place.

9. Lord, have mercy, because I am in misery.My eyes are weak from so much crying,and my whole being is tired from grief.

10. My life is ending in sadness,and my years are spent in crying.My troubles are using up my strength,and my bones are getting weaker.

11. Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me,and even my neighbors look down on me.When my friends see me,they are afraid and run.

12. I am like a piece of a broken pot.I am forgotten as if I were dead.
