Psalms 31:12-17

¹²I am given to forgetting, as a dead man from the heart. I am made as a forlorn vessel;

¹³for I heard despising of many men dwelling in compass. In that thing while they came together against me; they counselled to take my life.

¹⁴But, Lord, I hoped in thee; I said, Thou art my God;

¹⁵my times be in thine hands. Deliver thou me from the hands of mine enemies; and from them that pursue me.

¹⁶Make thou clear thy face on thy servant; Lord, make thou me safe in thy mercy;

¹⁷be I not shamed, for I inwardly called thee. Unpious men be ashamed, and be they led forth into hell;
