Psalms 38:11-22

Psalms 38:11-22 AMP

My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my neighbors stand far away. [Luke 23:49] Those who seek my life lay snares for me, And those who seek to injure me threaten mischievous things and destruction; They devise treachery all the day long. ¶But I, like a deaf man, do not hear; I am like a mute man who does not open his mouth. Yes, I am like a man who does not hear, In whose mouth are no arguments. For in You, O LORD, I hope; You will answer, O Lord my God. For I pray, “May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would boast against me.” For I am ready to fall; My sorrow is continually before me. For I do confess my guilt and iniquity; I am filled with anxiety because of my sin. [2 Cor 7:9, 10] But my [numerous] enemies are vigorous and strong, And those who hate me without cause are many. They repay evil for good, they attack and try to kill me, Because I follow what is good. Do not abandon me, O LORD; O my God, do not be far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord, my Salvation.
