11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
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, hear not; and I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14. Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
