13 But as for me, like the deaf I cannot hear, and I am like the mute who cannot open his mouth.
14 And so I am like a man who hears not, and in whose mouth there are no retorts.
15 Rather for you I wait, O Yahweh. You will answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Help, lest they rejoice over me, lest they boast against me when my foot slips.”
17 For I am ready to stumble, and my pain is before me continually.
18 For my iniquity I confess; I am anxious because of my sin.
19 And my enemies without cause are numerous, and those who hate me wrongfully are many.
