Psalms 38:16 in Context — Psalms 38
14 Et moi, je suis comme un sourd, je n’entends pas; Je suis comme un muet, qui n’ouvre pas la bouche.
15 Je suis comme un homme qui n’entend pas, Et dans la bouche duquel il n’y a point de réplique.
16 Éternel! C’est en toi que j’espère; Tu répondras, Seigneur, mon Dieu!
17 Car je dis: Ne permets pas qu’ils se réjouissent à mon sujet, Qu’ils s’élèvent contre moi, si mon pied chancelle!
18 Car je suis près de tomber, Et ma douleur est toujours devant moi.
