Psalm 31:10-12
Living Bible
Psalm 31:10-12
Living Bible
9-10 O Lord, have mercy on me in my anguish. My eyes are red from weeping; my health is broken from sorrow. I am pining away with grief; my years are shortened, drained away because of sadness. My sins have sapped my strength; I stoop with sorrow and with shame.[a] 11 I am scorned by all my enemies and even more by my neighbors 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.

Psalm 31:10-12
New International Version
10 My life is consumed by anguish(A)
and my years by groaning;(B)
my strength fails(C) because of my affliction,[a](D)
and my bones grow weak.(E)
11 Because of all my enemies,(F)
I am the utter contempt(G) of my neighbors(H)
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
those who see me on the street flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;(I)
I have become like broken pottery.
