PSALMS 31:12-18

¹²I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

¹³For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

¹⁴But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

¹⁵My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

¹⁶Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy lovingkindness.

¹⁷Let me not he ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, let them be silent in Sheol.

¹⁸Let the lying lips be dumb; which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
