King James Version with Apocrypha
"For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life."
— Psalms 31:13, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.”
“For I have heard the defaming of many, Terror on every side: While they took counsel together against me, They devised to take away my life. ”
“For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.”
“For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.”
“False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.”
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
But I trusted in thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my God.
My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
