NET Bible
"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."
— Psalms 31:13, NET Bible
“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.”
“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 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 my life nears its end in pain; my years draw to a close as I groan. My strength fails me because of my sin, and my bones become brittle.
Because of all my enemies, people disdain me; my neighbors are appalled by my suffering– those who know me are horrified by my condition; those who see me in the street run away from me.
I am forgotten, like a dead man no one thinks about; I am regarded as worthless, like a broken jar.
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.
But I trust in you, O LORD! I declare,“You are my God!”
You determine my destiny! Rescue me from the power of my enemies and those who chase me.
Smile on your servant! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!
