Psalms 38:12-20
12Those who seekH1245 my lifeH5315 lay snaresH5367; those who wish meH1875 harmH7451 speakH1696 destructionH1942, plottingH1897 deceitH4820 allH3605 day longH3117.
13But like a deaf manH2795, IH589 do notH3808 hearH8085;and like a mute manH483, I do notH3808 openH6605 my mouthH6310.14I amH1961 like a manH376 whoH834 cannotH3808 hearH8085,whose mouthH6310 offers no replyH8433H369.15I waitH3176 for You, O LORDH3068;YouH859 will answerH6030, O LordH136 my GodH430.16ForH3588 I saidH559, “Let them notH6435 gloatH8055 over me—those who tauntH1431 meH5921 when my footH7272 slipsH4131.”
17ForH3588 IH589 am readyH3559 to fallH6761,and my painH4341 is everH8548 with meH5048.18YesH3588, I confessH5046 my iniquityH5771;I am troubledH1672 by my sinH2403.19Many are my enemiesH341 without causeH2416H6105,1and manyH7231 hate meH8130 without reasonH8267.220Those who repayH7999 my goodH2896 withH8478 evilH7451attack meH7853 forH8478 pursuingH7291 the goodH2896.
