Psalms 38:15

Compare all

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.

18 For I will ^adeclare my iniquity;
I will be ^bin anguish over my sin.

19 But my enemies are vigorous, and they are strong;
And those who hate me wrongfully have multiplied.

for he is confident the

Lord—literally, "Sovereign" (to whom he was a servant), would answer his prayer (Psalms 3:4; Psalms 4:1), and not permit their triumph in his partial halting, of which he was in danger.
