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, Terror is on every side; While they took counsel together against me, They schemed to take away my life.
14. But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord, I say, "You are my God."
15. My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
16. Make Your face to shine upon Your servant; Save me in Your lovingkindness.
17. Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.
18. Let the lying lips be mute, Which speak arrogantly against the righteous With pride and contempt.
