Psalms 38 — Context

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.

For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.

For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
