Psalm 31:12-17
New American Standard Bible
12 I am (A)forgotten like a dead person, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.
13 For I have heard the [a](B)slander of many,
(C)Terror is on every side;
While they (D)took counsel together against me,
They (E)schemed to take away my life.
14 But as for me, I trust in You, Lord,
I say, “(F)You are my God.”
15 My (G)times are in Your hand;
(H)Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who persecute me.
16 Make Your (I)face shine upon Your servant;
(J)Save me in Your faithfulness.
17 Let me not be (K)put to shame, Lord, for I call upon You;
Let the (L)wicked be put to shame, let them (M)be silent in [b]Sheol.

Psalm 31:12-17
Amplified Bible
12
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.
13
For I have heard the slander and whispering of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they schemed together against me,
They plotted to take away my life.(A)
14
But as for me, I trust [confidently] in You and Your greatness, O Lord;
I said, “You are my God.”
15
My times are in Your hands;
Rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from those who pursue and persecute me.
16
Make Your face shine upon Your servant;
Save me in Your lovingkindness.
17
Let me not be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on You;
Let the wicked (godless) be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead).
Psalm 31:12-17
Easy-to-Read Version
12 People want to forget me like someone already dead,
thrown away like a broken dish.
13 I hear them whispering about me.
They have turned against me and plan to kill me.
14 Lord, I trust in you.
You are my God.
15 My life is in your hands.
Save me from those who are persecuting me.
16 Please welcome and accept your servant.[a]
Be kind to me and save me.
17 Lord, I am praying to you.
Don’t let me be disappointed.
The wicked are the ones who should be disappointed.
Let them go to the grave in silence.

Salmos 31:12-17
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
12 Como un muerto soy olvidado, sin ser recordado(A),
Soy semejante a un vaso roto.
13 Porque he oído la calumnia de muchos(B),
El terror está por todas partes(C);
Mientras traman juntos contra mí(D),
Planean quitarme la vida(E).
14 Pero yo, oh Señor, en Ti confío;
Digo: «Tú eres mi Dios(F)».
15 En Tu mano están mis años(G);
Líbrame de la mano de mis enemigos, y de los que me persiguen(H).
16 Haz resplandecer Tu rostro sobre Tu siervo(I);
Sálvame en Tu misericordia(J).
17 Oh Señor, no sea yo avergonzado(K), porque a Ti clamo;
Sean avergonzados los impíos(L); que desciendan en silencio al Seol(M).
Psalm 31:12-17

deliver me from the hands of my enemies,
