Psalm 38:13-17

New International Version - UK

¹³ I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,
    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 for you;
    you will answer, Lord my God.
¹⁶ For I said, ‘Do not let them gloat
    or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.’

¹⁷ For I am about to fall,
    and my pain is ever with me.
