You have not handed me over to my enemies
    but have ·set me in a safe place [L made my feet stand in a broad place].

Lord, ·have mercy [be gracious], because I am in ·misery [distress; trouble].
    My eyes ·are weak [waste away; are dim] from so much crying,
    ·and my whole being is tired [L as is my soul and my body] from grief.
10 My life is ending in ·sadness [sorrow],
    and my years are spent ·in crying [L with sighs/moans].
My ·troubles are using up my strength [L strength stumbles in my affliction/misery],
    and my bones ·are getting weaker [waste away].

    and my bones grow weak.(J)
