Psalms 38:13-18 New Century Version (NCV)

13. I am like the deaf; I cannot hear.Like the mute, I cannot speak.

14. I am like those who do not hear,who have no answer to give.

15. I trust you, Lord.You will answer, my Lord and God.

16. I said, “Don’t let them laugh at meor brag when I am defeated.”

17. I am about to die,and I cannot forget my pain.

18. I confess my guilt;I am troubled by my sin.
