Psalms 31:9-13 My years are shortened, drained away because of sadness. My sins have sapped my strength, I stoop with sorrow and with shame. ¹¹ I am scorned by all my enemies and even more by my neighbours and friends. They dread meeting me and look the other way when i go by.
¹² I am forgotten like a dead man, like a broken and discarded pot. ¹³ I heard the lies about me, the slanders of my enemies. Everywhere i looked I was afraid, for they were plotting against my life. May God with you. Amen.
