Psalms 31:10

Read in context

Psalms 31:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 You have not delivered me to the enemy; You have set my feet in the open.

9 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

10 For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

11 Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.

12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.
