Psalm 38:15-17
New English Translation

15 Yet[a] I wait for you, O Lord!
You will respond, O Lord, my God!
16 I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me;[b]
when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me.[c]
17 For I am about to stumble,
and I am in constant pain.[d]

  3. Psalm 38:16 tn Heb “they will magnify against me.” See Pss 35:26; 55:13.
  4. Psalm 38:17 tn Heb “and my pain [is] before me continually.”
