Psalms 38:11 in context

Psalms 38:8–14

8

I am faint and severely bruised.

I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

9

Lord, all my desire is before you.

My groaning is not hidden from you.

10

My heart throbs.

My strength fails me.

As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

11
Selected verse

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague.

My kinsmen stand far away.

12

They also who seek after my life lay snares.

Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things,

and meditate deceits all day long.

13

But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear.

I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.

14

Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear,

in whose mouth are no reproofs.
