Psalms 38:8-13

⁸I am utterly crushed and numb; I cry louder than lion roars.

⁹Lord, you know all that I long for, my groans are not hidden from you.

¹⁰My heart is throbbing, my strength has failed me. The light of my eyes— even it is gone from me.

¹¹My dear ones and friends keep aloof, and my neighbours stand afar off.

¹²They who aim at my life lay their snares, they who seek my hurt speak of ruin, nursing treachery all the day long.

¹³But I turn a deaf ear and hear not; like the dumb I open not my mouth.
