10 My heart is pounding, my strength is gone,and my eyes have lost their brightness.
11 My friends and neighbours will not come near me,because of my sores;even my family keeps away from me.
12 Those who want to kill me lay traps for me,and those who want to hurt me threaten to ruin me;they never stop plotting against me.
13 I am like the deaf and cannot hear,like the dumb and cannot speak.
14 I am like those who do not answer,because they cannot hear.
15 But I trust in you, O Lord;and you, O Lord my God, will answer me.
16 Don't let my enemies gloat over my distress;don't let them boast about my downfall!
