Psalm 31:9

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Mine eye wasteth away because of grief; It waxeth old because of all mine adversaries.

Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee.

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.

Our eyes do yet fail in looking for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.

For this our heart is faint; For these things our eyes are dim;

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thine anger, Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

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

O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

For our soul is bowed down to the dust: Our body cleaveth unto the earth.

For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.

For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draweth nigh unto Sheol.

For my days consume away like smoke, And my bones are burned as a firebrand.

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Being bound in affliction and iron,

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
