Context of Psalms 38:10
8I am benumbed and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart. 9Lord, all my desire is before You; And my sighing is not hidden from You. My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me. 11My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. 12Those who seek my life lay snares for me; And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction, And they devise treachery all day long.
