12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;

I have become like broken pottery.

13 For I hear many whispering,

“Terror on every side!”

They conspire against me

and plot to take my life.

12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:

I am like a broken vessel.

13 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.

12 I am ignored as if I were dead,

as if I were a broken pot.

13 I have heard the many rumors about me,

and I am surrounded by terror.

My enemies conspire against me,

plotting to take my life.

12 I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;

I am like a broken vessel.

13 For I hear the slander of many;

Fear is on every side;

While they take counsel together against me,

They scheme to take away my life.

12 I am like a piece of a broken pot.

I am forgotten as if I were dead.

13 I have heard many insults.

Terror is all around me.

They make plans against me

and want to kill me.

12 I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind:

I am like a broken vessel.

13 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.

12 I am forgotten in their heart as a dead man; I am become like a broken vessel. 13 For I have heard the slander of many—terror on every side—when they take counsel together against me: they plot to take away my life.

12 I have faded from memory as if I were dead 

and have become like a piece of broken pottery. 

13 I have heard the whispering of many people— 

terror on every side— 

while they made plans together against me. 

They were plotting to take my life. 

12 I am forgotten: gone from memory

like a dead person—like broken pottery.

13 I have heard the gossip of many;

terror is on every side.

When they conspired against me,

they plotted to take my life.

12 I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;

I have become like a broken vessel.

13 For I hear the whispering of many—

terror all around!—

as they scheme together against me,

as they plot to take my life.

12 I have become forgotten like one dead, out of mind.

I am like a destroyed vessel.

13 For I hear the rumor of many,

“Terror on every side!”

When conspiring together against me,

they have plotted to take my life.

12 They have forgotten me. I might as well be dead.

I have become like broken pottery.

13 I hear the lies many people tell about me.

There is terror all around me.

Many have joined together against me.

They plan to kill me.

12 I am forgotten as a dead man, out of mind;

I am like a broken vessel.

13 For I have heard the slander of many,

Terror is on every side;

While they took counsel together against me,

They schemed to take away my life.
