Psalms 31:11-15 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

11. I was a scorn to all my foes,and to my friends a fear;And specially reproach'd of thosethat were my neighbours near:When they me saw they from me fled.

12. Ev'n so I am forgot,As men are out of mind when dead:I'm like a broken pot.

13. For slanders I of many heard;fear compass'd me, while theyAgainst me did consult, and plotto take my life away.

14. But as for me, O Lord, my trustupon thee I did lay;And I to thee, Thou art my God,did confidently say.

15. My times are wholly in thine hand:do thou deliver meFrom their hands that mine enemiesand persecutors be.
