13 I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.
14 False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.
15 But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
16 The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.
17 Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.
18 Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld.
19 Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.
