12 Some people set traps to kill me.Those who want to hurt me plan trouble.All day long they think up lies.
13 I am like a deaf man; I cannot hear.Like a mute, I cannot speak.
14 I am like a person who does not hear.I have no answer to give.
15 I trust you, Lord.You will answer, my God and Lord.
16 I said, “Don’t let them laugh at me.Don’t let them brag when I am defeated.”
17 I am about to die.I cannot forget my pain.
18 I confess my guilt.I am troubled by my sin.
