Context of Psalms 31:14

12I am forgotten in [their] heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel. 13For I have heard the slander of many — terror on every side — when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life. But I confided in thee, Jehovah; I said, thou art my God. 15My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from my persecutors. 16Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy loving-kindness.
