Psalms 38:12-22

12 Those who want to kill me lay traps for me, and those who want to hurt me threaten to ruin me; they never stop plotting against me.
13 I am like the deaf and cannot hear, like the dumb and cannot speak.
14 I am like those who do not answer, because they cannot hear.
15 But I trust in you, O Lord; and you, O Lord my God, will answer me.
16 Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress; don't let them boast about my downfall!
17 I am about to fall and am in constant pain.
18 I confess my sins; they fill me with anxiety.
19 My enemies are healthy and strong; there are many who hate me for no reason.
20 Those who pay back evil for good are against me because I try to do right.
21 Do not abandon me, O Lord; do not stay away, my God!
22 Help me now, O Lord my savior!
