Psalms 38:12 in Context — Psalms 38

10 Meu coração dá palpitações, e minha força me deixou; e a luz dos meus olhos já não [está] comigo.

11 Meus amigos e companheiros observam de longe minha calamidade; e os meus vizinhos ficam afastados.

12 Os que procuram [matar] a minha alma [me] armam laços; e os que procuram o meu mal falam insultos e todo o dia planejam maldades.

13 Mas eu [estou] como o surdo, não ouço; e como o mudo, [que] não abre sua boca.

14 E eu estou como um homem que não ouve, e cuja boca não [pode responder] com repreensões.
