Psalms 38:15-22

15Yes, I am like one who cannot hear, whose mouth has no arguments.

16But I wait for You, Adonai— You will answer, O Lord my God.

17For I said: “Don’t let them gloat over me or exalt themselves over me, when my foot slips.”

18For I am about to fall, and my pain is before me constantly.

19So I confess my guilt. I am troubled because of my sin.

20My lively enemies are numerous. Many hate me wrongfully.

21Those who repay evil for good oppose me because I pursue what is good.

22Do not forsake me, Adonai. O my God, be not far from me.
