“Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress.My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.”
Psalm 31:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness,for you have seen my affliction.You have known my soul in adversities. 8You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy.You have set my feet in a large place. 9Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress.My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief. 10For my life is spent with sorrow,my years with sighing.My strength fails because of my iniquity.My bones are wasted away. 11Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors,a horror to my acquaintances.Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
