Psalm 31:11

A Plea For Protection

¹⁰
For my life is spent with sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My strength has failed because of my iniquity,
And even my body has wasted away.
¹¹ 
Because of all my enemies I have become a reproach and disgrace,
Especially to my neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me on the street run from me.
¹²
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.
