37:10. Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
37:11. My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
37:12. My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off:
37:13. And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long.
37:14. But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
37:15. And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
37:16. For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
37:17. For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
37:18. For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me.
37:19. For I will declare my iniquity: and I will think formy sin.
