12. And they that seek after my life lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all the day long.
13. But I, as a deaf man, hear not; and am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14. Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
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.
17. For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.
18. For I will declare mine iniquity, I am grieved for my sin.
