Psalms 31:11-16

¹¹More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.

¹²I am forgotten in their heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.

¹³For I have heard the slander of many — terror on every side — when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.

¹⁴But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God.

¹⁵My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.

¹⁶Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
