Holy Scripture
Psalms 30:12
A church father on this verse
“When you granted me pardon because of my repentance and led me back into glory, taking away the shame of my sins, for this I shall give praise to you for all eternity. In fact, what space of time could be so great, that it could produce in my soul forgetfulness of such mighty benefits?”

Original
12I became a reproach among all mine enemies, But exceedingly so to my neighbors, And a fear to mine acquaintance: They that saw me without fled from me.

In context
10Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: My eye is troubled with indignation, My soul and my belly.
11For my life is spent with grief, And my years with groanings: My strength has been weakened through poverty, And my bones are troubled.
— Psalms 30:12 —
13I have been forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am become as a broken vessel.
14For I heard the slander of many that dwelt round about: When they were gathered together against me, They took counsel to take my life.
