Psalm 38:16 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 38.

12 Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.

13 But like a deaf man, I do not hear; and like a mute man, I do not open my mouth.

14 I am like a man who cannot hear, whose mouth offers no reply.

15 I wait for You, O LORD; You will answer, O Lord my God.

16 For I said, “Let them not gloat over me—those who taunt me when my foot slips.”

17 For I am ready to fall, and my pain is ever with me.

18 Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

19 Many are my enemies without cause, and many hate me without reason.

20 Those who repay my good with evil attack me for pursuing the good.
