Psalm 31:9-11
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.

Psalm 31:9-11
New International Version
9 Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;(A)
my eyes grow weak with sorrow,(B)
my soul and body(C) with grief.
10 My life is consumed by anguish(D)
and my years by groaning;(E)
my strength fails(F) because of my affliction,[a](G)
and my bones grow weak.(H)
11 Because of all my enemies,(I)
I am the utter contempt(J) of my neighbors(K)
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
those who see me on the street flee from me.
