12 Those who seek my life set traps,and those who want to harm me threaten to destroy me;they plot treachery all day long.
13 I am like a deaf person; I do not hear.I am like a speechless personwho does not open his mouth.
14 I am like a man who does not hearand has no arguments in his mouth.
15 I put my hope in You, Lord;You will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Don’t let them rejoice over me —those who are arrogant toward me when I stumble.”
17 For I am about to fall,and my pain is constantly with me.
18 So I confess my guilt;I am anxious because of my sin.
