World English Bible
"My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away."
— Psalms 38:11, World English 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. ”
“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 severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.
Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.
My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.
They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.
But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.
Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, in whose mouth are no reproofs.
