13. They who seek my life set traps. Those who seek my hurt threaten destruction, uttering lies all day.
14. But I, like someone deaf, hear nothing, like a mute, not opening his mouth.
15. Yes, I am like one who cannot hear, whose mouth has no arguments.
16. But I wait for You, Adonai— You will answer, O Lord my God.
17. For I said: “Don’t let them gloat over me or exalt themselves over me, when my foot slips.”
