Psalm 31:9-11

Contemporary English Version

⁹ Have pity, Lord!
I am hurting and almost blind.
    My whole body aches.
¹⁰ I have known only sorrow
all my life long, and I suffer
    year after year.
I am weak from sin,
    and my bones are limp.

¹¹ My enemies insult me.
Neighbors are even worse,
    and I disgust my friends.
People meet me on the street,
    and they turn and run.
