I looked, etc

Because of all my adversaries, I have become a reproach,
Especially to my neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.

Reproach has broken my heart and I am so sick.
And I looked for sympathy, but there was none,
And for comforters, but I found none.

You have removed my acquaintances far from me;
You have made me an

object of loathing to them;

I am shut up and cannot go out.

“He has removed my brothers far from me,
And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.

Refuge

Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down just as Your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant.” And the Lord said, “He will come down.”

Then David said to himself, “Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.”

General references

I called on Your name, O Lord,
Out of the lowest pit.
