Psalms 38:12-20

12Those who intend to kill me set traps, and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me; they plot treachery all day long.

13I am like a deaf person; I do not hear. I am like a speechless person who does not open his mouth.

14I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth.

15For I put my hope in you, Lord; you will answer me, my Lord, my God.

16For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me — those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

17For I am about to fall, and my pain is constantly with me.

18So I confess my iniquity; I am anxious because of my sin.

19But my enemies are vigorous and powerful; many hate me for no reason.

20Those who repay evil for good attack me for pursuing good.
