11. More than to all mine oppressors, I am become exceedingly a reproach, even to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that see me without flee from me.
12. I am forgotten in their heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel.
13. For I have heard the slander of many--terror on every side--when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.
14. But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God
15. My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors.
16. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
