Psalms 38:13
Compare all
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.”
17 aFor I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
