Psalms 31:13 Context
11I was a reproch among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a feare to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without, fled from me. 12I am forgotten as a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell. 13For I haue heard the slaunder of many, feare was on euery side: while they tooke counsell together against me, they deuised to take away my life. 14But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I sayd, Thou art my God. 15My times are in thy hand: deliuer me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
