Psalms 38:14-22

¹⁴Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.

¹⁵For on thee, O Lord, do I waite: thou wilt heare me, my Lord, my God.

¹⁶For I said, Heare me, least they reioyce ouer me: for when my foote slippeth, they extol themselues against me.

¹⁷Surely I am ready to halte, and my sorow is euer before me.

¹⁸When I declare my paine, and am sory for my sinne,

¹⁹Then mine enemies are aliue and are mightie, and they that hate me wrongfully are many.

²⁰They also, that rewarde euill for good, are mine aduersaries, because I follow goodnesse.

²¹Forsake me not, O Lord: be not thou farre from me, my God.

²²Haste thee to helpe mee, O my Lord, my saluation.
