The Fathers on this verse
St Augustine Expositions on the Book of Psalms, Psalm XXXI
13. “I have been forgotten, as one dead from the heart” ( ver. 12 ). And they have forgotten me, as if I were dead from their hearts. “I have become as a lost vessel.” I have seemed to myself to be lost to all the Lord’s service, living in this world, and gaining none, when all were afraid to join themselves unto me.
