Psalms 38:8-13

⁸(38-9) I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.

⁹(38-10) Lord, all my desire is before Thee; and my sighing is not hid from Thee.

¹⁰(38-11) My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

¹¹(38-12) My friends and my companions stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

¹²(38-13) They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.

¹³(38-14) But I am as a deaf man, I hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
