14 But I, like someone deaf, hear nothing, like a mute, not opening his mouth.
15 Yes, I am like one who cannot hear, whose mouth has no arguments.
16 But I wait for You, Adonai— You will answer, O Lord my God.
17 For I said: “Don’t let them gloat over me or exalt themselves over me, when my foot slips.”
18 For I am about to fall, and my pain is before me constantly.
19 So I confess my guilt. I am troubled because of my sin.
20 My lively enemies are numerous. Many hate me wrongfully.
