Psalms 38:14
King James VersionSource notes
“Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth no reproofs.”
Context
11My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12They also that seek after my life lay snares and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13But I, as a deaf heard not; and as a dumb man openeth not his mouth.
14Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth no reproofs.
15For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16For I said, lest they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify against me.
17For I ready to halt, and my sorrow continually before me.
