## Psalms 38:11-12 in Context (Verses 8–15 KJV)
 
 [8 ](/kjv/psalms/38/8) I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/psalms/38/9) Lord, all my desire *is* before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/psalms/38/10) My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.*
 
 [11 ](/kjv/psalms/38/11) My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.**
 
 [12 ](/kjv/psalms/38/12) 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/psalms/38/13) But I, as a deaf *man*, heard not; and *I was* as a dumb man *that* openeth not his mouth.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/38/14) Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth *are* no reproofs.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/38/15) For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.**
 
[Psalms 37](/kjv/psalms/37) [Psalms 39](/kjv/psalms/39)
