They also who seek after my life lay snares.
Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things,
and meditate deceits all day long.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 38:12 in context
Psalms 38:9–15
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
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague.
My kinsmen stand far away.
12
Selected verse
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.
15
For I hope in you, LORD.
You will answer, Lord my God.
