Psalm 38:13-22   New International Version    

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. 15 Lord, I wait for you;     you will answer, Lord my God. 16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat     or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

17 For I am about to fall,     and my pain is ever with me. 18 I confess my iniquity;     I am troubled by my sin. 19 Many have become my enemies without cause[a];     those who hate me without reason are numerous. 20 Those who repay my good with evil     lodge accusations against me,     though I seek only to do what is good.

21 Lord, do not forsake me;     do not be far from me, my God. 22 Come quickly to help me,     my Lord and my Savior.
