'Affliction' in the Bible

Be gracious to me, LORD, take note of my affliction, because of those who hate me. You snatch me away from the gates of death,

Look upon my distress and affliction; forgive all my sins.

I will rejoice and be glad in your gracious love, for you see my affliction and take note that my soul is distressed.

Why are you hiding your face? Why are you ignoring our affliction and oppression?

My eyes languish on account of my affliction; all day long I call out to you, LORD, I spread out my hands to you.

no evil will fall upon you, and no affliction will approach your tent,

Yet he lifted the needy from affliction and made them families like a flock.

Had your instruction not been my pleasure, I would have died in my affliction.
