11. My lovers and my friends do standat distance from my sore;And those do stand aloof that werekinsmen and kind before.
12. Yea, they that seek my life lay snares:who seek to do me wrongSpeak things mischievous, and deceitsimagine all day long.
13. But, as one deaf, that heareth not,I suffer'd all to pass;I as a dumb man did become,whose mouth not open'd was:
14. As one that hears not, in whose mouthare no reproofs at all.
15. For, Lord, I hope in thee; my God,thou'lt hear me when I call.
16. For I said, Hear me, lest they shouldrejoice o'er me with pride;And o'er me magnify themselves,when as my foot doth slide.
17. For I am near to halt, my griefis still before mine eye:
18. For I'll declare my sin, and grievefor mine iniquity.
19. But yet mine en'mies lively are,and strong are they beside;And they that hate me wrongfullyare greatly multiply'd.
