12. I am forgotten: gone from memorylike a dead person — like broken pottery.
13. I have heard the gossip of many;terror is on every side. When they conspired against me,they plotted to take my life.
14. But I trust in You, Lord;I say, “You are my God.”
15. The course of my life is in Your power; deliver me from the power of my enemiesand from my persecutors.
16. Show Your favor to Your servant;save me by Your faithful love.
17. Lord, do not let me be disgraced when I call on You. Let the wicked be disgraced;let them be silent in Sheol.
18. Let lying lips be quieted; they speak arrogantly against the righteouswith pride and contempt.
