Psalms 38:12-20

12Those who want to kill me set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they scheme and lie.

13I am like the deaf, who cannot hear, like the mute, who cannot speak;

14I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply.

15Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.

16For I said, “Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

17For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

18I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

19Many have become my enemies without cause; those who hate me without reason are numerous.

20Those who repay my good with evil lodge accusations against me, though I seek only to do what is good.
