Psalm 38:17

New American Bible - revised edition

For I have said that they would gloat over me, exult over me if I stumble.

See the chapter Copy

Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed,” lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

Yet when I stumbled they gathered with glee, gathered against me and I did not know it. They slandered me without ceasing;

Do not let lying foes rejoice over me, my undeserved enemies wink knowingly.

Foul and festering are my sores because of my folly.

For in death there is no remembrance of you. Who praises you in Sheol?
