My enemies say cruel things about me. They want me to die and be forgotten.
Their fame is ended at home and abroad; no one remembers them any more.
but they will be blown away like dust. Those who used to know them will wonder where they have gone.
All day long my enemies insult me; those who mock me use my name in cursing.
Those who want to kill me lay traps for me, and those who want to hurt me threaten to ruin me; they never stop plotting against me.
I recognize my faults; I am always conscious of my sins.
Sincerity and truth are what you require; fill my mind with your wisdom.
All day long my opponents attack me. There are so many who fight against me.
I call to God, the Most High, to God, who supplies my every need.
so that the whole world may know your will; so that all nations may know your salvation.
Turn to me and have mercy on me; strengthen me and save me, because I serve you just as my mother did.
You are my God, so be merciful to me; I pray to you all day long.
Good people will be remembered as a blessing, but the wicked will soon be forgotten.
