Psalm 31:11-13

Modern English Version

¹¹ I became a reproach among all my enemies,
    but especially among my neighbors,
and a dread to my acquaintances;
    those who saw me outside fled from me.
¹² I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind;
    I am like a broken vessel.
¹³ For I have heard the slander of many;
    fear was on every side;
while they took counsel together against me,
    they planned to take away my life.
