Psalms 37:9-14

⁹I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.

¹⁰But all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hidden from thee.

¹¹My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; And the light of mine eyes is not with me.

¹²My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; And my nearest of kin stood afar off.

¹³While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: And they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, And devised deceits all the day.

¹⁴But I, as a deaf man, heard not; And was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
