Isolation and Inward Trust

Psalms 38:9-14

Lord, I powre my whole desire before thee, and my sighing is not hid from thee.

Mine heart panteth: my strength faileth me, and the light of mine eyes, euen they are not mine owne.

My louers and my friends stand aside from my plague, and my kinsmen stand a farre off.

They also, that seeke after my life, laye snares, and they that go about to do me euil, talke wicked things and imagine deceite continually.

But I as a deafe man heard not, and am as a dumme man, which openeth not his mouth.

Thus am I as a man, that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofes.
