Psalm 31:9

Be gracious and compassionate to me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul and my body also.

My eye grows dim with grief;
It grows old because of all my enemies.

“My eye has grown dim (unexpressive) because of grief,
And all my [body’s] members are [wasted away] like a shadow.

“Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones,

O Lord, do not rebuke or punish me in Your anger,
Nor discipline me in Your wrath.

I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint.
My heart is like wax;
It is melted [by anguish] within me.

O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your wrath,
Nor discipline me in Your burning anger.

For our life has melted away into the dust;
Our body clings to the ground.

Which my lips uttered
And my mouth spoke as a promise when I was in distress.

For all the day long have I been stricken,
And punished every morning.

My flesh and my heart may fail,
But God is the rock and strength of my heart and my portion forever.

For my soul is full of troubles,
And my life draws near the grave (Sheol, the place of the dead).

My eye grows dim with sorrow.
O Lord, I have called on You every day;
I have spread out my hands to You [in prayer].

For my days have vanished in smoke,
And my bones have been scorched like a hearth.

Some dwelt in darkness and in the deep (deathly) darkness,
Prisoners [bound] in misery and chains,

[And as for us,] yet our eyes failed,
Looking in vain for help.
Watching [from the towers] we watched
For a nation that could not save.

Because of this our heart is faint,
Because of these things our eyes are dim.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
