Psalm 38:11–13

11 My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction,

and my relatives stand at a distance.q

12 Those who intend to kill me set traps,

and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;

they plot treachery all day long.r

13 I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.

I am like a speechless person

who does not open his mouth.s
