American Standard Version
"My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off. "
— Psalms 38:11, American Standard Version
“My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.”
“My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.”
“Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance; my neighbors stand far away.”
“Remove thy scourges from me. The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes:”
“My lovers and my friends keep away from my disease; my relations keep far away.”
“My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.”
I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.
My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long.
But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
