New Century Version

Psalms 31:11-17 New Century Version (NCV)

11. Because of all my troubles, my enemies hate me,and even my neighbors look down on me.When my friends see me,they are afraid and run.

12. I am like a piece of a broken pot.I am forgotten as if I were dead.

13. I have heard many insults.Terror is all around me.They make plans against meand want to kill me.

14. Lord, I trust you.I have said, “You are my God.”

15. My life is in your hands.Save me from my enemiesand from those who are chasing me.

16. Show your kindness to me, your servant.Save me because of your love.

17. Lord, I called to you,so do not let me be disgraced.Let the wicked be disgracedand lie silent in the grave.
