Psalm 31:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 To all my foes I am a thing of scorn,
and especially to my neighbors
a horror to my friends.
When they see me in public,
they quickly shy away.(A)
13 I am forgotten, out of mind like the dead;
I am like a worn-out tool.[a]
14 I hear the whispers of the crowd;
terrors are all around me.[b]
They conspire together against me;
they plot to take my life.
