New Testament

Psalm 31:7-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. I will be glad and full of joy because you love me. You saw that I was hurting. You took note of my great pain.

8. You have not handed me over to the enemy. You have put me in a wide and safe place.

9. Lord, show me your favor. I'm in deep trouble. I'm so sad I can hardly see. My whole body grows weak with sadness.

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.
