11. Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach,especially to my neighbors,and an object of dread to my acquaintances;those who see me in the street flee from me.
12. I have been forgotten like one who is dead;I have become like a broken vessel.
13. For I hear the whispering of many—terror on every side!— as they scheme together against me,as they plot to take my life.
14. But I trust in you, O Lord;I say, “You are my God.”
15. My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
16. Make your face shine on your servant;save me in your steadfast love!
17. O Lord, let me not be put to shame,for I call upon you;let the wicked be put to shame;let them go silently to Sheol.
