Psalm 31:13

A Plea For Protection

¹²
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.
¹³ 
For I have heard the slander and whispering of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they schemed together against me,
They plotted to take away my life. ¹⁴
But as for me, I trust [confidently] in You and Your greatness, O Lord;
I said, “You are my God.”

And take our revenge on him.”
