Psalms 38:9-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. Lord, all my desire is before You,and my sighing is not hidden from You.

10. My heart throbs, my strength fails me;as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

11. My friends and my companions stand back because of my affliction,and those close to me stand at a distance.

12. The people who seek my life strike at me;those who seek my harm speak destruction,and plan treacheries all the day long.

13. But I, like a deaf man, did not hear;and like a dumb man, did not open my mouth.
