Psalm 38 - Prayer in Time of Chastening (Cont'd.)

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:

My loved ones and my friends stand
  aloof from my plague,
And my relatives stand afar off.
Those also who seek my life lay snares for
  me;
Those who seek my hurt sepak of
  destruction,
And plan deception all the day long.

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:

My brothers and sisters and dear one
  stand at a distance from my sickness.
And my cousins turn their head.
Those who want me dead gather in groups;
They speak hurtful things of me and seek
  my demise.
And watch the hand of time all the day long.

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
But, I like a deaf man, do not hear;
And I am  like a mute who does not open
  his mouth.
Thus I am like a man who does not hear,
And in whose mouth is no response.

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
But, I am like a deaf woman, all is silent.
And I am liken to someone who has lost
   their tongue.
Thus I am like a woman who has no ears,
And from whose mouth no words are uttered.

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
For in Your, O Lord, I hope;
You will hear, O Lord my God.
For I said, "Hear me, lest they rejoice over
  me,
Lest when my foot slips, they exalt
  themselves against me."

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
For it is to you, O Lord, I turn;
You will listen, O Lord my God.
For I intuited, "See me, O Lord, before they do
  harmful things to me,
Lest when my hand misses its stronghold,
  they laugh over my gesture
  and put themselves over me.

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
For I am ready to fall,
And my sorrow is continually before me.
For I will declare my iniquity
I will be in anguish over my sin.
But my enemies are vigorous, and they are
  strong;
And those who hate me wrongfully have
  multiplied.
Those also who render evil for good,
They are my adversaries, because I follow
  what is good.

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
For I know I will transgress
And my hurt is always with me.
I will declare my transgression
I will be despondent over my wrongdoing.
But those who would cast me evil glances are near
And those who would do me harm, are many.
Those who would trodden me under
They are my enemy, because I go towards what
   is good.

THE PSALMIST PRAYS:
Do not forsake me, O Lord;
O my God, be not far from me!
Make haste to help me.
O Lord, my salvation!

PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
Do not abandon me, O Lord;
O my God, be by my side!
Make every good effort to help me.
My Lord, my salvation!
My love, my life.
