Psalms 38:16

16 I have prayed for deliverance, because otherwise they will gloat over me; ^{▼▼ Heb “For I said, ‘Lest they rejoice over me.’” The psalmist recalls the motivating argument of his petition. He probably prefaced this statement with a prayer for deliverance (see Pss 7:1–2; 13:3–4; 28:1).}
when my foot slips they will arrogantly taunt me. ^{▼▼ Heb “they will magnify against me.” See Pss 35:26; 55:13.}
