aMy eye wastes away with grief,
Yes, my soul and my1 body!
And my years with sighing;
My strength fails because of my iniquity,
And my bones waste away.
But bespecially among my neighbors,
And am repulsive to my acquaintances;
cThose who see me outside flee from me.
bFear is on every side;
While they ctake counsel together against me,
They scheme to take away my life.
Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,
And from those who persecute me.
| << Psalms 31:10 | Psalms 31:12 >> |
