14 But, like someone deaf, I did not hear. And I was like someone mute, not opening his mouth.
15 And I became like a man who does not hear, and who has no reproofs in his mouth.
16 For in you, Lord, I have hoped. You will listen to me, O Lord my God.
17 For I said, "Lest at any time, my enemies might rejoice over me," and, "While my feet are being shaken, they have spoken great things against me."
18 For I have been prepared for scourges, and my sorrow is ever before me.
19 For I will announce my iniquity, and I will think about my sin.
20 But my enemies live, and they have been stronger than me. And those who have wrongfully hated me have been multiplied.
