Psalm 31:10-15

10 My life is consumed by anguish
and my years by groaning;

my strength fails because of my affliction,
    and my bones grow weak.
11 Because of all my enemies,
    I am the utter contempt of my neighbors
and an object of dread to my closest friends—
    those who see me on the street flee from me.
12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;
    I have become like broken pottery.
13 For I hear many whispering,
    “Terror on every side!”
They conspire against me
    and plot to take my life.

14 But I trust in you, Lord;
I say, "You are my God."

15 My times are in your hands;
    deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
    from those who pursue me.



     I love how in this - and in fact all  through the Psalms - David cries out to the Lord and tell Him his problem, but then says, 'I trust in you Lord.' He speaks in hope, in wisdom, and in faith.
