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

Verse 9 is found in chapter 31 of Psalms. Psalm 31 combines trust, lament, and personal surrender in an extended prayer. God is rock, fortress, and refuge, while the psalmist describes illness, social rejection, and persecution. The surrender of his spirit expresses radical trust in divine hands. Toward the end, the individual experience becomes communal teaching: loving the Lord and taking courage means remaining firm because God preserves those who wait for him.

und übergibst mich nicht in die Hände des Feindes; du stellst meine Füße auf weiten Raum.
Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová, que estoy en angustia: Hanse consumido de pesar mis ojos, mi alma, y mis entrañas.
Ten piedad de mí, Jehová, porque estoy angustiado; se consumen de dolor mis ojos, mi alma y mi cuerpo.
Aie pitié de moi, Eternel! car je suis dans la détresse; J'ai le visage, l'âme et le corps usés par le chagrin.
Abbi mercè di me, Signore; perciocchè io sono in distretta; L’occhio mio, l’anima mia, e il ventre mio, son consumati di cordoglio.
Tem misericórdia de mim, ó SENHOR, porque estou angustiado. Consumidos estão de tristeza os meus olhos, a minha alma e o meu ventre.
耶和華啊,求你憐憫我, 因為我在急難之中; 我的眼睛因憂愁而昏花, 我的身心也已耗盡。
