10 My heart throbs, my strength fails me;as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 My friends and my companions stand back because of my affliction,and those close to me stand at a distance.
12 The people who seek my life strike at me;those who seek my harm speak destruction,and plan treacheries all the day long.
13 But I, like a deaf man, did not hear;and like a dumb man, did not open my mouth.
14 Thus I was as a man who does not hear,and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in You, O Lord, do I hope;You will answer, O Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Lest otherwise they should rejoice over me.When my foot slips, they magnify themselves against me.”
