Psalms 38:16 in context

Psalms 38:13–19

But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear.

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

Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear,

in whose mouth are no reproofs.

For I hope in you, LORD.

You will answer, Lord my God.

Selected verse

For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me,

or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

For I am ready to fall.

My pain is continually before me.

For I will declare my iniquity.

I will be sorry for my sin.

But my enemies are vigorous and many.

Those who hate me without reason are numerous.
