New Testament

Psalms 38:13-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. But I, like a deaf man, did not hear;and like a dumb man, did not open my mouth.

14. Thus I was as a man who does not hear,and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

15. For in You, O Lord, do I hope;You will answer, O Lord my God.

16. For I said, “Lest otherwise they should rejoice over me.When my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.”

17. For I am ready to stumble,and my pain is continually before me.

18. For I will declare my iniquity;I am anxious because of my sin.

19. But my enemies are lively, and they are strong;and those who wrongfully hate me are many.

20. Those also who repay evil for good are my adversaries,because I pursue good.

21. Do not abandon me, O Lord;O my God, do not be far from me.

22. Make haste to help me,O Lord, my salvation.
