12 They also who seek after my life lay snares.Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things,and meditate deceits all day long.
13 But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear.I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
14 Yes, I am as a man who doesn’t hear,in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15 For in you, Lord, do I hope.You will answer, Lord my God.
16 For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me,or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”
17 For I am ready to fall.My pain is continually before me.
18 For I will declare my iniquity.I will be sorry for my sin.
