Context of Psalms 31:14

12I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. 13For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life. But I trusted in thee, O Jehovah: I said, Thou art my God. 15My times are in thy hand: Deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. 16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: Save me in thy lovingkindness.
