11. (12) I was a cherpah (reproach, scorn, disgrace) among all mine enemies, but especially among my shchenim (neighbors), and a dread to mine acquaintance; they that did see me outside fled from me.
12. (13) I am forgotten like a dead man out of mind; I am like a keli oved (broken vessel).
13. (14) For I have heard the dibbah (evil report, slander) of many; terror was on every side; while they conspire against me, they plot to take my nefesh.
14. (15) But I trust in Thee, Hashem; I said, Thou art Elohai.
15. (16) My times are in Thy yad; deliver me from the yad of mine oyevim (enemies), and from them that persecute me.
16. (17) Make Thy face to shine upon Thy eved; hoshi'eini (save me) for the sake of Thy chesed.
17. (18) Let me not be put to shame, Hashem; for I have called upon Thee; let the resha'im be put to shame, and let them keep silent in Sheol.
