- Reading Psalms 38:2-9 what would one conclude as to the condition of the writer/speaker?

- In spite of all the difficulties, what would Psalms 38:16 indicate as to the relationship to God?
- The concluding verse presupposes that, indeed, (a) the Tefillah has been answered — or (b) that there is hope that it may yet be answered?
