Psalm 38:17

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

See the chapter Copy

But I have trusted in thy steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

But at my stumbling they gathered in glee, they gathered together against me; cripples whom I knew not slandered me without ceasing;

Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause.

I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; all the day I go about mourning.

I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping.
