10 [a]Have mercy on me, O Lord,
for I am in trouble.
My weeping is laying waste to my eyes
as well as my soul[b] and my body.
Footnotes
- Psalm 31:10 The prayer changes tone; after serenity comes a gasping cry. The stricken person is also one who is despised and rejected, an object of utter contempt by others. This is the despairing cry at times when we seem completely alone.
- Psalm 31:10 Soul: see note on Ps 6:4.
