| 9Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also. | 9Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. |
| 10For my life is spent with sorrow And my years with sighing; My strength has failed because of my iniquity, And my body has wasted away. | 10For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. |
| 11Because 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. | 11I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me. |
| 12I am forgotten as a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel. | 12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. |
| 13For I have heard the slander of many, Terror is on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They schemed to take away my life. | 13For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. |

| 17Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol. | 17Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. |
| 18Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt. | 18Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. |
| 19How great is Your goodness, Which You have stored up for those who fear You, Which You have wrought for those who take refuge in You, Before the sons of men! | 19Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! |
| 20You hide them in the secret place of Your presence from the conspiracies of man; You keep them secretly in a shelter from the strife of tongues. | 20Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. |
