12 I am completely forgottenlike someone dead.I am merely a broken dish.
13 I hear the crowds whisper,“Everyone is afraid!”They are plotting and schemingto murder me.
14 But I trust you, Lord,and I claim you as my God.
15 My life is in your hands.Save me from enemieswho hunt me down.
16 Smile on me, your servant.Have pity and rescue me.
17 I pray only to you.Don't disappoint me.Disappoint my cruel enemiesuntil they lie silentin their graves.
18 Silence those proud liars!Make them stop boastingand insulting your people.
