11: I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

12: I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

13: For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

14: But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God.

15: My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.

16: Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies' sake.

17: Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.

18: Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19: Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!

20: Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

21: Blessed be the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.

22: For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
