12 Everyone has forgotten me, as though I were dead;I am like something thrown away.
13 I hear many enemies whispering;terror is all round me.They are making plans against me,plotting to kill me.
14 But my trust is in you, O Lord;you are my God.
15 I am always in your care;save me from my enemies,from those who persecute me.
16 Look on your servant with kindness;save me in your constant love.
17 I call to you, Lord;don't let me be disgraced.May the wicked be disgraced;may they go silently down to the world of the dead.
18 Silence those liars —all the proud and arrogantwho speak with contempt about the righteous.
