Psalm 31F: Psalm 31:9-16

Llangloffan, 76.76.D. [D]

4. 9 O LORD, have mercy on me,
        For anguish fills my life;
My eye, my soul, my body
        Are all consumed with grief.
10 My life is drained by sorrow,
        My years with sighing spent;
I've lost my strength by sinning;
        My bones are weak and bent.

5. 11 To all my foes a byword,
        A dread to those near me,
A scorn to all my neighbors,
        At sight of me they flee.
12 Like dead men I'm forgotten,
        A broken jar thrown out.
13 I've slanders heard of many,
        And fear is all about.

6. When foes conspire against me,
        My murder meditate,
14 In You, O LORD, I'm trusting;
        "You are my God," I state.
15 My times are all in Your hand;
        Free me from foes who chase.
16 Your face shine on Your servant;
        O save me in Your grace.
