Psalms 38:12 in Context — Psalms 38

10 Seigneur! Tous mes désirs sont devant toi, Et mes soupirs ne te sont point cachés.

11 Mon cœur est agité, ma force m’abandonne, Et la lumière de mes yeux n’est plus même avec moi.

12 Mes amis et mes connaissances s’éloignent de ma plaie, Et mes proches se tiennent à l’écart.

13 Ceux qui en veulent à ma vie tendent leurs pièges; Ceux qui cherchent mon malheur disent des méchancetés, Et méditent tout le jour des tromperies.

14 Et moi, je suis comme un sourd, je n’entends pas; Je suis comme un muet, qui n’ouvre pas la bouche.
