Psalm 38 — Psalms 38:13–20

But I, as a deaf man, hear not;
And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

Yea, I am as a man that heareth not,
And in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:
Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:
When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.

For I will declare mine iniquity;
I will be sorry for my sin.

But mine enemies are lively, and are strong;
And they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that render evil for good
Are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
