Psalms 38:12-20

12They also that seekH1245 after my lifeH5315 lay snaresH5367 for me: and they that seekH1875 my hurtH7451 speakH1696 mischievous thingsH1942, and imagineH1897 deceitsH4820 all the dayH3117 long.

13But I, as a deafH2795 man, heardH8085 not; and I was as a dumb manH483 that openethH6605 not his mouthH6310.

14Thus I was as a manH376 that hearethH8085 not, and in whose mouthH6310 are no reproofsH8433.

15For in thee, O YhwhH3068, do I hopeH3176: thou wilt hearH6030, O LordH136 my GodH430.12

16For I saidH559, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoiceH8055 over me: when my footH7272 slippethH4131, they magnifyH1431 themselves against me.

17For I am readyH3559 to haltH6761, and my sorrowH4341 is continuallyH8548 before me.3

18For I will declareH5046 mine iniquityH5771; I will be sorryH1672 for my sinH2403.

19But mine enemiesH341 are livelyH2416, and they are strongH6105: and they that hateH8130 me wrongfullyH8267 are multipliedH7231.4

20They also that renderH7999 evilH7451 for goodH2896 are mine adversariesH7853; because I followH7291 the thing that goodH2896 is.
