Psalm 38:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ Because of my sickness,
    my friends and neighbors will not visit me;
    my family will not come near me.
¹² My enemies say bad things about me.
    They are spreading lies and rumors.
    They talk about me all the time.
¹³ But I am like a deaf man and cannot hear.
    I am like someone who cannot speak.
