Psalms 38:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 38:13

11 My loved ones and my friends ^astand aloof from my plague,
And my relatives stand afar off.

12 Those also who seek my life lay snares for me;
Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction,
And plan deception all the day long.

13 But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.

14 Thus I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth is no response.

15 For¹ in You, O Lord, ^aI hope;
You will¹ hear, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me,
Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”
