Psalms 38:13-18

¹³But I, I am like a deaf man and hear nothing; I am like a mute man who says nothing.

¹⁴I am like a man who does not hear and who has no reply.

¹⁵Surely I wait for you, Yahweh; you will answer, Lord my God.

¹⁶I say this so that my enemies will not gloat over me. If my foot slips, they will do terrible things to me.

¹⁷For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.

¹⁸I confess my guilt; I am concerned about my sin.
