American Standard Version

Psalm 31:12-18 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

13. For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life.

14. But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God.

15. My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

16. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.

17. Let me not be put to shame, O Jehovah; for I have called upon thee: Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.

18. Let the lying lips be dumb, Which speak against the righteous insolently, With pride and contempt.
