12 I am forgotten like a Man ‖ that's dead, and out of mind; ‖ I am become just like unto ‖ a Vessel that is broke. ‖
13 For I from many heard ill fame; ‖ ⟨p. 69⟩fear was on every side; ‖ while they against me did consult; ‖ they thought to seize my Soul. ‖
14 But as for me, I did rely ‖ on Thee, ETERNAL God; ‖ This did I say, Thou art my God ‖ to whom I do adhere. ‖
15 My Times are all at thy dispose; ‖ O do thou rescue me ‖ from the hand of mine enemies, ‖ and from my following foes. ‖
