Psalms 31:8-9
Psalms 31:6-13 The Message (MSG)
I hate all this silly religion, but you, GOD, I trust. I’m leaping and singing in the circle of your love; you saw my pain, you disarmed my tormentors, You didn’t leave me in their clutches but gave me room to breathe. Be kind to me, GOD— I’m in deep, deep trouble again. I’ve cried my eyes out; I feel hollow inside. My life leaks away, groan by groan; my years fade out in sighs. My troubles have worn me out, turned my bones to powder. To my enemies I’m a monster; I’m ridiculed by the neighbors. My friends are horrified; they cross the street to avoid me. They want to blot me from memory, forget me like a corpse in a grave, discard me like a broken dish in the trash. The street-talk gossip has me “criminally insane”! Behind locked doors they plot how to ruin me for good.
Psalms 31:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: Thou hast set my feet in a large room. Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: Mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly.
Psalms 31:8-9 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
And You have not given me over into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a large place. Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also.
Psalms 31:8-9 New Century Version (NCV)
You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. LORD, have mercy, because I am in misery. My eyes are weak from so much crying, and my whole being is tired from grief.
Psalms 31:8-9 American Standard Version (ASV)
And thou hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy; Thou hast set my feet in a large place. Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in distress: Mine eye wasteth away with grief, yea, my soul and my body.
Psalms 31:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
You have not given me into the hands of the enemy but have set my feet in a spacious place. Be merciful to me, LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and body with grief.
Psalms 31:8-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalms 31:8-9 Amplified Bible (AMP)
And You have not given me into the hand of the enemy; You have set my feet in a broad place. ¶Be gracious and compassionate to me, O LORD, for I am in trouble; My eye is clouded and weakened by grief, my soul and my body also.
Psalms 31:8-9 New Living Translation (NLT)
You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place. Have mercy on me, LORD, for I am in distress. Tears blur my eyes. My body and soul are withering away.
Psalms 31:8-9 The Passion Translation (TPT)
You have kept me from being conquered by my enemy; you broke open the way to bring me to freedom, into a beautiful, broad place. O Lord, help me again! Keep showing me such mercy. For I am in anguish, always in tears, and I’m worn out with weeping. I’m becoming old because of grief; my health is broken.
