11 I am a reproach among all my enemies,But especially among my neighbors,And am repulsive to my acquaintances;Those who see me outside flee from me.
12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear the slander of many;Fear is on every side;While they take counsel together against me,They scheme 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 shine upon Your servant;Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
17 Do not let me be ashamed, O Lord, for I have called upon You;Let the wicked be ashamed;Let them be silent in the grave.
