Psalms 38:9-14

9O Lord, all my longing is before you; my sighing is not hidden from you.

10My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.

11My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague, and my nearest kin stand far off.

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.
