'Affliction' in the Bible

For He has not despised nor detested the suffering of the afflicted;Nor has He hidden His face from him;But when he cried to Him for help, He listened.

Look upon my affliction and my trouble,And forgive all my sins.

I will rejoice and be glad in Your steadfast love,Because You have seen my affliction;You have taken note of my life’s distresses,

Why do You hide Your faceAnd forget our affliction and our oppression?

For great is Your lovingkindness and graciousness toward me;And You have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol [from death].

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].

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

Yet He sets the needy securely on high, away from affliction,And makes their families like a flock.

This is my comfort in my affliction,That Your word has revived me and given me life.

If Your law had not been my delight,Then I would have perished in my time of trouble.

Resh.Look upon my agony and rescue me,For I do not forget Your law.
