Psalms 38:9-14

9Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You.

10My heart throbs violently, my strength fails me; And as for the light of my eyes, even that has also gone from me.

11My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my neighbors stand far away.

12Those who seek my life lay snares for me, And those who seek to injure me threaten mischievous things and destruction; They devise treachery all the day long.

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

14Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, In whose mouth are no arguments.
