Psalms 38:10-20

¹⁰My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

¹¹My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.

¹²They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long.

¹³But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

¹⁴Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

¹⁶For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

¹⁷For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

¹⁸For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

¹⁹But mine enemies are lively, and are strong; And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

²⁰They also that render evil for good Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
