Especially to my (B)neighbors,
And an object of dread to my acquaintances;
Those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 I am (C)forgotten like a dead person, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel.

While they (F)took counsel together against me,
They (G)schemed to take away my life.

12 I am forgotten as though I were dead;(D)

They conspire against me(G)
    and plot to take my life.(H)
