Psalms 38:12


Psalms 38:11 Psalms 38:12 (KJV) Psalms 38:13
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
They 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.
But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.
