Psalms 38:11-22

Psalms 38:11-22 NCV

Because of my wounds, my friends and neighbors avoid me, and my relatives stay far away. Some people set traps to kill me. Those who want to hurt me plan trouble; all day long they think up lies. I am like the deaf; I cannot hear. Like the mute, I cannot speak. I am like those who do not hear, who have no answer to give. I trust you, LORD. You will answer, my Lord and God. I said, “Don’t let them laugh at me or brag when I am defeated.” I am about to die, and I cannot forget my pain. I confess my guilt; I am troubled by my sin. My enemies are strong and healthy, and many hate me for no reason. They repay me with evil for the good I did. They lie about me because I try to do good. LORD, don’t leave me; my God, don’t go away. Quickly come and help me, my Lord and Savior.
