Psalm 38:9-15

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ Lord, my every desire is known to^[a] You;
my sighing is not hidden from You.^(A)
10 My heart races, my strength leaves me,
and even the light of my eyes has faded.^[b](B)
11 My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction,
and my relatives stand at a distance.^(C)
12 Those who seek my life set traps,
and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;
they plot treachery all day long.^(D)

¹³ I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.
I am like a speechless person
who does not open his mouth.^(E)
14 I am like a man who does not hear
and has no arguments in his mouth.^(F)
15 I put my hope in You, Lord;
You will answer, Lord my God.^(G)
