30:2

O Lord, I have hoped in thee; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness and rescue me.

Incline thine ear to me; make haste to rescue me: be thou to me for a protecting God, and for a house of refuge to save me.

Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and my belly.

I became a reproach among all mine enemies, but exceedingly so to my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that saw me without fled from me.

30:13

I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.

and from them that persecute me. Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me in thy mercy.

How abundant is the multitude of thy goodness, O Lord, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee! thou hast wrought [it] out for them that hope on thee, in the presence of the sons of men.

Thou wilt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the vexation of man: thou wilt screen them in a tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.

Be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
