Psalms 38:15 — Meaning and Application

But I, as a deaf {man}, heard not; and {I was} as a dumb man {that} openeth not his mouth.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth {are} no reproofs.

For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. {in...: or, thee do I wait for} {hear: or, answer}

For I said, {Hear me}, lest {otherwise} they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify {themselves} against me.

For I {am} ready to halt, and my sorrow {is} continually before me. {to halt: Heb. for halting}
