11. Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me.Even my neighbors look down on me.When my friends see me,they are afraid and run.
12. I am like a piece of a broken pot.I am forgotten as if I were dead.
13. I have heard many insults.Terror is all around me.They make plans against me.They want to kill me.
14. Lord, I trust you.I have said, “You are my God.”
15. My life is in your hands.Save me from my enemies’ grasp.Save me from those who are chasing me.
16. Show your kindness to me, your servant.Save me because of your love.
17. Lord, I called to you.So do not let me be disgraced.Let the wicked be disgraced.Let them lie silent in the grave.
18. With pride and hatredthey speak against the righteous.So shut their lying lips.
