Psalms 31:12. I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
This was the same David who slew the Philistine giant; this was the great deliverer of his country; yet the people had forgotten all that. Earthly popularity is the most fleeting thing under heaven. The world is a hard and cruel master; it forgets its servants when they grow old, it has nothing good to say of them when there is nothing further to be got out of them. So David laments, "I am like a broken vessel,"-a potsherd that can hold nothing, and is flung away upon a dunghill.
