Psalms 31:12

¹⁰ For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

¹¹ Among all my enemies I am a disgrace, and among my neighbors even more. I am dreaded by my friends— they flee when they see me on the street.

I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind. I am like a broken vessel.

¹³ For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life.

¹⁴ But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
