Context of Psalms 31:14
12I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; I am like a broken vessel. 13For I hear the slander of many; Fear is on every side; While they take counsel together against me, They scheme to take away my life. But as for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” 15My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from those who persecute me. 16Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake.
