Psalm 38:8-14 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

8. I am feeble and utterly crushed;I groan in anguish of heart.

9. All my longings lie open before you, Lord:my sighing is not hidden from you.

10. My heart pounds, my strength fails me;even the light has gone from my eyes.

11. My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;my neighbours stay far away.

12. Those who want to kill me set their traps,those who would harm me talk of my ruin;all day long they scheme and lie.

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

14. I have become like one who does not hear,whose mouth can offer no reply.
