Psalms 38:14-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 38
14Yes, I am like a person who does not hear, And in whose mouth are no arguments. 15For I wait for You, Lord; You will answer, Lord my God. 16For I said, 'May they not rejoice over me, Who, when my foot slips, would exalt themselves over me.' 17For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me. 18For I admit my guilt; I am full of anxiety because of my sin. 19But my enemies are vigorous and strong, And those who wrongfully hate me are many. 20And those who repay evil for good, They become my enemies, because I follow what is good. 21Do not abandon me, Lord; My God, do not be far from me! 22Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation!King James Version
19But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

Chapter 38
14I am like a man who does not hear and has no arguments in his mouth. 15For I put my hope in you, Lord; you will answer me, my Lord, my God. 16For I said, "Don’t let them rejoice over me— those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble." 17For I am about to fall, and my pain is constantly with me. 18So I confess my iniquity; I am anxious because of my sin. 19But my enemies are vigorous and powerful; many hate me for no reason.New Living Translation
Chapter 38
14I choose to hear nothing, and I make no reply. 15For I am waiting for you, O Lord. You must answer for me, O Lord my God. 16I prayed, 'Don’t let my enemies gloat over me or rejoice at my downfall.'
17I am on the verge of collapse, facing constant pain.
18But I confess my sins; I am deeply sorry for what I have done.
19I have many aggressive enemies; they hate me without reason.
20They repay me evil for good and oppose me for pursuing good.
21Do not abandon me, O Lord. Do not stand at a distance, my God.
22Come quickly to help me, O Lord my savior.

Chapter 38
14I have become like a man who does not hear, and in whose mouth are no rebukes. 15But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer. 16For I said, "Only let them not rejoice over me, who boast against me when my foot slips!" 17For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever before me. 18I confess my iniquity; I am sorry for my sin. 19But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully. 20Those who render me evil for good accuse me because I follow after good. 21Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me! 22 Make haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!New International Version
