8 Thou hast not left and shut me up Into my [wrathful] enemies hand: Thou settest my feet at liberty, In a large [and free] room to stand.
8 Thou hast not left and shut me up Into my [wrathful] enemies hand: Thou set'st my feet at liberty, In a large [and free] room to stand.
9 Have mercy on me, O my God, In [my great] trouble send relief; Mine eye, my belly, and my soul, Consumed are with [pain and] grief.
10 My life is spent in grief, my years In [mournful] sighs away do fly; My strength doth fail, my bones consume, [And this] for mine iniquity.
11 Among my foes I was a scorn, [And] to [my] neighbours specially; A fear to friends: They that saw me Without [away] did from me fly.
