Psalm 38:12-15

King James Version

¹²They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

¹³But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.

¹⁴Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

¹⁵For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

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

¹³I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,^(D)
    like the mute, who cannot speak;
¹⁴I have become like one who does not hear,
    whose mouth can offer no reply.
¹⁵Lord, I wait^(E) for you;
    you will answer,^(F) Lord my God.

¹²Those also who seek my life lay snares for me;
Those who seek my hurt speak of destruction,
And plan deception all the day long.

¹³But I, like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am like a mute who does not open his mouth.
¹⁴Thus I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth is no response.

¹⁵For ^[a]in You, O Lord, ^(A)I hope;
You will ^[b]hear, O Lord my God.
