10 For my life is spent with grief,
And my years with sighing;
My strength fails because of my iniquity,
And my bones waste away.

11 ^aI am a¹ reproach among all my enemies,
But ^bespecially among my neighbors,
And am repulsive to my acquaintances;
^cThose who see me outside flee from me. ‡

13 ^aFor I hear the slander of many;
^bFear is on every side;
While they ^ctake counsel together against me,
They scheme to take away my life. ‡

14 But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
