12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind;I am like a broken vessel.
13. For I have heard the slander of many;fear was on every side;while they took counsel together againstme,they planned to take away my life.
14. But I trusted in You, O Lord;I said, “You are my God.”
15. My times are in Your hand;deliver me from the hand of my enemiesand my pursuers.
16. Make Your face to shine on Your servant;save me by Your lovingkindness.
17. Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord,for I have called on You;let the wicked be ashamed,and let them be silent in the grave.
