7. I am burning with feverand I am near to death.
8. I am worn out and utterly crushed;my heart is troubled, and I groan with pain.
9. O Lord, you know what I long for;you hear all my groans.
10. My heart is pounding, my strength is gone,and my eyes have lost their brightness.
11. My friends and neighbours will not come near me,because of my sores;even my family keeps away from me.
12. Those who want to kill me lay traps for me,and those who want to hurt me threaten to ruin me;they never stop plotting against me.
13. I am like the deaf and cannot hear,like the dumb and cannot speak.
14. I am like those who do not answer,because they cannot hear.
