12. I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;I am like a broken vessel.
13. For I hear the slander of many;Fear is on every side;While they take counsel together against me,They scheme to take away my life.
14. But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord;I say, “You are my God.”
15. My times are in Your hand;Deliver me from the hand of my enemies,And from those who persecute me.
16. Make Your face shine upon Your servant;Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
17. Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You;Let the wicked be ashamed;Let them be silent in the grave.
