Psalms 38:9-22

Psalms 38:9-22 CSB

Lord, my every desire is in front of you; my sighing is not hidden from you.  My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded.  , My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction, and my relatives stand at a distance.  Those who intend to kill me set traps, and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me; they plot treachery all day long.  I am like a deaf person; I do not hear. I am like a speechless person who does not open his mouth.  I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth.  For I put my hope in you, LORD; you will answer me, my Lord, my God.  For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me — those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”  For I am about to fall, and my pain is constantly with me.  So I confess my iniquity; I am anxious because of my sin.  But my enemies are vigorous and powerful;  many hate me for no reason.  Those who repay evil for good attack me for pursuing good.  LORD, do not abandon me; my God, do not be far from me.  Hurry to help me, my Lord, my salvation.
