Psalms 38:12-20

12Those who 1seek my life 2lay snares for me; And those who 3seek to injure me have 4threatened destruction, And they 5plot deception all day long.

13But I, like a person who is deaf, do not hear; And I am like a 6person who cannot speak, who does not open his mouth.14Yes, I am like a person who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments.15For 7I wait for You, Lord; You 8will answer, Lord my God.16For I said, “May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, 9would exalt themselves over me.”17For I am 10ready to fall, And 11my 12sorrow is continually before me.18For I 13admit my guilt; I am full of 14anxiety because of my sin.19But my 15enemies are vigorous and 16strong, And those who wrongfully 17hate me are many.20And those who 18repay evil for good, They 19become my enemies, because I follow what is good.
