12 They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and plan deceit all the day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that opens not his mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man that hears not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in you, O LORD, do I hope: you will hear, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.
17 For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare my iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
