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