11. To all my enemies I have become a reproach, but especially to my neighbors, and a dread to my acquaintances, who flee from me on the street.
12. I am forgotten like a dead man, and out of mind; like a broken vessel am I.
13. For I have heard the slander of many; terror is on every side! While they schemed together against me, they plotted to take my life.
14. But I trusted in, relied on, and was confident in You, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
15. My times are in Your hands; deliver me from the hands of my foes and those who pursue me and persecute me.
16. Let Your face shine on Your servant; save me for Your mercy's sake and in Your loving-kindness.
17. Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, or disappointed, for I am calling upon You; let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the place of the dead).
18. Let the lying lips be silenced, which speak insolently against the [consistently] righteous with pride and contempt.
19. Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men!
