Psalms 38:7 - Psalms 38:17
7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome distress; and no soundness is found in my flesh.
8 I am feeble, and broken, and very sore. I have wept by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me; as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof because of my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope; thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me; when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
