12 I am forgotten as a man That [now a] long time hath been dead; And like a broken vessel cast Aside [I am] as perished.
13 Many mens slanders I have heard, Fear compassed me [about] while they Against me did consult and plot [By fraud] to take my life away.
13 Many mens slanders I have heard, Fear compass'd me [about] while they Against me did consult and plot [By fraud] to take my life away.
14 But I did trust in thee, O Lord, When I [by foes] was under-trod; This was my soul's support and rest, I said, Thou art my [gracious] God.
15 My times are in thy hand and will: [Do thou] save and deliver me From their hands who mine enemies And [causeless] persecutors be.
