Psalms 38:12 in Context — Psalms 38

10 Mi corazón está acongojado, hame dejado mi vigor; y aun la misma luz de mis ojos no está conmigo.

11 Mis amigos y mis compañeros se quitaron de delante de mi plaga; y mis cercanos se pusieron lejos.

12 Y los que buscaban mi alma armaron lazos; y los que procuraban mi mal hablaban iniquidades, y meditaban fraudes todo el día.

13 Mas yo, como [si fuera] sordo, no oía; [y estaba] como un mudo, [que] no abre su boca.

14 Fuí pues como un hombre que no oye, y que en su boca no tiene reprensiones.
