You did not hand me over to the enemy.
You set my feet in a wide-open place.
10 Be gracious to me, Adonai,
    for I am in distress.
My eyes waste away with grief,
    my soul and my body as well.
11 For my life is consumed in sorrow
    and my years in sighing.
My strength fails because of my anguish
    and my bones waste away.
