Psalm 31:13

A Plea For Protection

¹² I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel. ¹³ False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life. ¹⁴ But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
