Psalms 38:12-20
12Those who 1seekH1245 my lifeH5315 2layH5367 snaresH5367 for me; And those who 3seekH1875 to injureH7463 me have 4threatenedH1696 destructionH1942, And they 5plotH1897 deceptionH4820 allH3605 dayH3117 long.
13But I, like a personH2795 who is deafH2795, do not hearH8085; And I am like a 6personH483 whoH483 cannotH483 speakH483, who does not openH6605 his mouthH6310.14Yes, I am like a personH376 whoH834 does not hearH8085, And in whose mouthH6310 are noH369 argumentsH8433.15For 7I waitH3176 for You, LordH3068; You 8will answerH6030, LordH136 my GodH430.16For I saidH559, “May they not rejoiceH8055 over me, Who, when my footH7272 slipsH4131, 9would exaltH1431 themselves overH5921 me.”17For I am 10readyH3559 to fallH6761, And 11my 12sorrowH4341 is continuallyH8548 beforeH5048 me.18For I 13admitH5046 my guiltH5771; I amH1672 fullH1672 ofH1672 14anxietyH1672 becauseH4480 of my sinH2403.19But my 15enemiesH340 are vigorousH2416 and 16strongH6105, And those who wrongfullyH8267 17hateH8130 me areH7231 manyH7231.20And those who 18repayH7999 evilH7463 for goodH2899, They 19becomeH7853 my enemiesH7853, becauseH8478 I followH7291 whatH2896 isH2896 goodH2896.
