Psalm 31:13

A Plea For Protection

¹² I have faded from memory as if I were dead and have become like a piece of broken pottery. ¹³ For I have heard the slander of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they took counsel together against me,
They schemed to take away my life.
¹⁴ I trust you, O Jehovah. I said: You are my God.
