New Testament

Psalms 38:7-16 English Revised Version (ERV)

7. For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8. I am faint and sore bruised: I have roared 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 throbbeth, 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 from my plague; 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, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

14. Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

16. For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
