Psalm 38:11-18

New International Version

¹¹ My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;^(A)
    my neighbors stay far away.
¹² Those who want to kill me set their traps,^(B)
    those who would harm me talk of my ruin;^(C)
    all day long they scheme and lie.^(D)

¹³ I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,^(E)
    like the mute, who cannot speak;
¹⁴ I have become like one who does not hear,
    whose mouth can offer no reply.
¹⁵ Lord, I wait^(F) for you;
    you will answer,^(G) Lord my God.
¹⁶ For I said, “Do not let them gloat^(H)
    or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”^(I)

¹⁷ For I am about to fall,^(J)
    and my pain^(K) is ever with me.
¹⁸ I confess my iniquity;^(L)
    I am troubled by my sin.
