9Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
10For my life hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
11Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing me without -- fled from me.
12I have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing vessel.
13For I have heard an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
14And I on Thee -- I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have said, `Thou [art] my God.`
15In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
