Context of Psalms 31:14
12Because of all my adversaries I am the contempt of my neighbors and a dread to my acquaintances. Seeing me on the street, they flee from me. 13I am as forgotten as a dead man. I have become like a broken vessel. For I have heard the whispering of many. There is terror on every side as they conspire against me and plot to take my life. 15But I have trusted in You, Adonai. I said: “You are my God.” 16My times are in Your hands. Deliver me from the hands of my foes and from those who pursue me.
