Psalms 31:12-18

¹²People have forgotten me like they forget people who are dead. They think I am as useless as a broken pot.

¹³I have heard people slandering me, and they have caused me to become terrified. My enemies are making plans in order to kill me.

¹⁴But Yahweh, I trust in you. You are my God.

¹⁵My whole life MTY is in your hands; save me from my enemies, from those who pursue me.

¹⁶Be kind to me and rescue me because you always faithfully love me.

¹⁷Yahweh, I call out to you, so do not allow me to be disgraced. I desire that wicked people will be disgraced; I want them to soon die and go down to the place where the dead people are.

¹⁸I desire that you will cause people MTY who tell lies to be unable to speak. Do that to people who are proud and those who arrogantly accuse righteous people.
