Psalms 38:9-14

9Lord, my every desire is in front of you; my sighing is not hidden from you.

10My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

11My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction, and my relatives stand at a distance.

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.
