Psalms 31:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 31:9

7 I will be glad and rejoice in Your mercy,
For You have considered my trouble;
You have ^aknown my soul in adversities,

8 And have not ^ashut me up into the hand of the enemy;
^bYou have set my feet in a wide place.

9 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
^aMy eye wastes away with grief,
Yes, my soul and my¹ body!

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.

12 ^aI am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a¹ broken vessel.

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.”

15 My times are in Your ^ahand;
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
And from those who persecute me.
