For I said: “Don’t let them gloat over me or exalt themselves over me, when my foot slips.”
For I am ready to halt, And my sorrow is continually before me.
For I am ready to halt and fall; my pain and sorrow are continually before me.
For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
because I’m very close to falling, and my pain is always with me.
Or else my enemy will say: “I have overcome him!” and my foes will rejoice because I am shaken.
But at my stumbling they gathered in glee. Wretches gathered against me whom I did not know, tearing at me without ceasing.
Do not let my deceitful enemies gloat over me without cause, nor let those who hate me for nothing wink an eye.
My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness.
For there is no memory of You in death, in Sheol who will praise You?
