10. Pain has taken over my life. My years are spent in groaning. I have no strength because I'm hurting so much. My body is getting weaker and weaker.
11. My neighbors make fun of me because I have so many enemies. My friends are afraid of me. Those who see me on the street run away from me.
12. They have forgotten me. I might as well be dead. I have become like broken pottery.
13. I hear the lies many people tell about me. There is terror all around me. Many have joined together against me. They plan to kill me.
14. But I trust in you, Lord. I say, "You are my God."
15. My whole life is in your hands. Save me from my enemies. Save me from those who are chasing me.
16. Let your face smile on me with favor. Save me because your love is faithful.
17. Lord, I have cried out to you. Don't let me be put to shame. But let sinners be put to shame. Let them lie silent in the grave.
18. Their lips tell lies. Let them be silenced. They speak with pride against those who do right. They make fun of them.
19. How great your goodness is! You have stored it up for those who have respect for you. While other people watch, you give it to those who run to you for safety.
