Psalm 38:15–16

15 Lord, I wait for you;

you will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Do not let them gloat

or exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.”

15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope:

Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me:

When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

15 For I am waiting for you, O Lord.

You must answer for me, O Lord my God.

16 I prayed, “Don’t let my enemies gloat over me

or rejoice at my downfall.”

15 For in You, O Lord, I hope;

You will hear, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Hear me, lest they rejoice over me,

Lest, when my foot slips, they exalt themselves against me.”

15 I trust you, Lord.

You will answer, my Lord and God.

16 I said, “Don’t let them laugh at me

or brag when I am defeated.”

15 For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope:

Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, Lest they rejoice over me:

When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.

15 For in thee, Jehovah, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God. 16 For I said, Let them not rejoice over me! When my foot slipped, they magnified themselves against me.

15 But I wait with hope for you, O Lord. 

You will answer, O Lord, my God. 

16 I said, “Do not let them gloat over me. 

When my foot slips, 

do not let them promote themselves at my expense.” 

15 I put my hope in You, Lord;

You will answer, Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me—

those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”

15 But it is for you, O Lord, that I wait;

it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.

16 For I pray, “Only do not let them rejoice over me,

those who boast against me when my foot slips.”

15 Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh.

You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Help, lest they rejoice over me,

lest they boast against me when my foot slips.”

15 Lord, I wait for you to help me.

Lord my God, I know you will answer.

16 I said, “Don’t let my enemies have the joy of seeing me fall.

Don’t let them brag when my foot slips.”

15 For I hope in You, O Lord;

You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “May they not rejoice over me,

Who, when my foot slips, would magnify themselves against me.”
