Psalms 31:8-15 New Living Translation (NLT)

8. You have not handed me over to my enemiesbut have set me in a safe place.

9. Have mercy on me, lord, for I am in distress.Tears blur my eyes.My body and soul are withering away.

10. I am dying from grief;my years are shortened by sadness.Sin has drained my strength;I am wasting away from within.

11. I am scorned by all my enemiesand despised by my neighbors—even my friends are afraid to come near me.When they see me on the street,they run the other way.

12. I am ignored as if I were dead,as if I were a broken pot.

13. I have heard the many rumors about me,and I am surrounded by terror.My enemies conspire against me,plotting to take my life.

14. But I am trusting you, O  lord,saying, “You are my God!”

15. My future is in your hands.Rescue me from those who hunt me down relentlessly.
