Psalm 31:14 In-Context

12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
13 For I hear the whispering of many—terror on every side! — as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
14 But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God. ”
15 My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!
16 Make your face shine on your servant; save me in your steadfast love!
