Psalm 38:14 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 38:14

Thus I was as a man that heareth not
Any thing that is said unto him; he took no more notice of it than if he had never heard it; but bore all the railings and calumnies of men with calmness and patience;

and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs;
as if he had nothing to say for himself, in vindication of his character, and to the refutation of his enemies; as if he had no arguments to make use of, for the conviction and reproof of his adversaries.

Psalm 38:14 In-Context

12 They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all day long.

13 But I, as a deaf man, don't hear. I am as a mute man who doesn't open his mouth.

14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn't hear, In whose mouth are no reproofs.

15 For in you, Yahweh, do I hope. You will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, "Don't let them gloat over me, Or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips."
