NET Bible
"Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance; my neighbors stand far away."
— Psalms 38:11, NET Bible
“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; And my kinsmen stand afar off. ”
“My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen 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 numb with pain and severely battered; I groan loudly because of the anxiety I feel.
O Lord, you understand my heart’s desire; my groaning is not hidden from you.
My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.
Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance; my neighbors stand far away.
Those who seek my life try to entrap me; those who want to harm me speak destructive words; all day long they say deceitful things.
But I am like a deaf man– I hear nothing; I am like a mute who cannot speak.
I am like a man who cannot hear and is incapable of arguing his defense.
