For why? the way of godly men unto the Lord is known: Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be overthrown.
I said unto the Lord, Thou art my God: unto the cry Of all my supplications, Lord, do thine ear apply.
Lord, keep me safely from the snares which they for me prepare; And from the subtile gins of them that wicked workers are.
My sp'rit is therefore overwhelm'd in me perplexedly; Within me is my very heart amazed wondrously.
I was a scorn to all my foes, and to my friends a fear; And specially reproach'd of those that were my neighbours near: When they me saw they from me fled.
Reproach hath broke my heart; I'm full of grief: I look'd for one To pity me, but none I found; comforters found I none.
My friends thou hast put far from me, and him that did me love; And those that mine acquaintance were to darkness didst remove.
Thou hast put far from me my friends, thou mad'st them to abhor me; And I am so shut up, that I find no evasion for me.
