Tehillim 38:7-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

7. (8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no health in my basar.

8. (9) I am feeble and broken ad me'od; I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my lev.

9. (10) Adonoi, all my ta'avah (desire, longing) is before Thee; and my groaning is not hid from Thee.

10. (11) My lev panteth, my ko'ach faileth me; as for the ohr of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11. (12) My loved ones and my re'a stand aloof from my nega [see Isa 53:8 on Moshiach's nega]; and my neighbors stand afar off.

12. (13) They also that seek after my nefesh lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak of ruin, and plot mirmot (deceptions, deceits) all the day long.

13. (14) But I, like a cheresh (deaf man), heard not; and I was like a mute that openeth not his mouth.

14. (15) Thus I was like an ish that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no tokhachot (reproofs).
