Psalms 31:9

¶ Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.

Have mercy {H2603} upon me, O LORD {H3068}, for I am in trouble {H6887}: mine eye {H5869} is consumed {H6244} with grief {H3708}, yea, my soul {H5315} and my belly {H990}.

Show me favor, ADONAI, for I am in trouble. My eyes grow dim with anger, my soul and body as well.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes fail from sorrow, my soul and body as well.

Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
