Psalm 38:10–12

10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me;

even the light has gone from my eyes.

11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;

my neighbors stay far away.

12 Those who want to kill me set their traps,

those who would harm me talk of my ruin;

all day long they scheme and lie.

10 My heart throbs; my strength fails me,

and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.

11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague,

and my nearest kin stand far off.

12 Those who seek my life lay their snares;

those who seek my hurt speak of ruin

and meditate treachery all day long.

10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me:

As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore;

And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 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.

10 My heart beats wildly, my strength fails,

and I am going blind.

11 My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease.

Even my own family stands at a distance.

12 Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me.

Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me.

All day long they plan their treachery.

10 My heart pounds, and my strength is gone.

I am losing my sight.

11 Because of my wounds, my friends and neighbors avoid me,

and my relatives stay far away.

12 Some people set traps to kill me.

Those who want to hurt me plan trouble;

all day long they think up lies.

10 My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me:

As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague;

And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me;

And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things,

And meditate deceits all the day long.

10 My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me. 11 My lovers and mine associates stand aloof from my stroke; and my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 And they that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.

10 My heart is pounding. 

I have lost my strength. 

Even the light of my eyes has left me. 

11 My loved ones and my friends keep their distance 

and my relatives stand far away because of my sickness. 

12 Those who seek my life lay traps for me. 

Those who are out to harm me talk about ruining me. 

All day long they think of ways to deceive me. 

10 My heart races, my strength leaves me,

and even the light of my eyes has faded.

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

and my relatives stand at a distance.

12 Those who seek my life set traps,

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

they plot treachery all day long.

10 My heart throbs; my strength fails me;

as for the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.

11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction,

and my neighbors stand far off.

12 Those who seek my life lay their snares;

those who seek to hurt me speak of ruin

and meditate on treachery all day long.

10 My heart throbs violently, my strength leaves me;

and the light of my eyes, that also is not with me.

11 My friends and companions stand aloof from my affliction,

and my relatives stand afar off.

12 Those who seek my life lay snares as well,

and those intent on my harm speak threats.

They also plot deceit all day.

10 My heart pounds. My strength is gone.

My eyes can hardly see.

11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds.

My neighbors stay far away from me.

12 Those who are trying to kill me set their traps.

Those who want to harm me talk about destroying me.

All day long they plan ways to trick me.

10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me;

And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

11 My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague;

And my kinsmen stand afar off.

12 Those who seek my life lay snares for me;

And those who seek to injure me have threatened destruction,

And they devise treachery all day long.
