Read in context

Psalms 31:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.

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; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

14 But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

15 My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.
