They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 38 of Psalms. Psalm 38 presents physical suffering, guilt, and social isolation within a single penitential prayer. The psalmist’s wounds are interpreted in relation to his sin, but the text does not reduce all human illness to a mechanical explanation: the center is the plea for mercy. Friends and enemies become part of the anguish, while the psalmist maintains an attitude of waiting before God and ends by asking the Lord not to be far away.

Meine Lieben und Freunde treten zurück und scheuen meine Plage, und meine Nächsten stehen ferne.
Y los que buscaban mi alma armaron lazos; Y los que procuraban mi mal hablaban iniquidades, Y meditaban fraudes todo el día.
Los que buscan mi vida tienden trampas; los que desean mi mal hablan de destrucción y traman engaños todo el día.
Ceux qui en veulent à ma vie tendent leurs pièges; Ceux qui cherchent mon malheur disent des méchancetés, Et méditent tout le jour des tromperies.
E questi che cercano l’anima mia mi tendono delle reti; E quelli che procacciano il mio male parlano di malizie, E ragionano di frodi tuttodì.
Também os que buscam a minha vida me armam laços e os que procuram o meu mal falam coisas que danificam, e imaginam astúcias todo o dia.
那尋索我命的設下羅網, 那想要害我的口出惡言, 整日思想詭計。
