Psalms 38:12-20

12Those who seek my life lay their snares; those who seek my hurt speak of ruin and meditate treachery all day long.

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

14I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes.

15But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.

16For I said, "Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!"

17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me.

18I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin.

19But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.

20Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good.
