Psalm 38:9-14

English Standard Version

⁹ O Lord, all my longing is before you;
    my ^(A)sighing is not hidden from you.
¹⁰ My heart throbs; my strength fails me,
    and ^(B)the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.
¹¹ My ^(C)friends and companions ^(D)stand aloof from my ^(E)plague,
    and my nearest kin ^(F)stand far off.

¹² Those who seek my life ^(G)lay their snares;
    those who seek my hurt ^(H)speak of ruin
    and meditate ^(I)treachery all day long.

¹³ But I am like a deaf man; I do not hear,
    like ^(J)a mute man who does not open his mouth.
¹⁴ I have become like a man who does not hear,
    and in whose mouth are no ^(K)rebukes.
